2 Corinthians 13:7 - John Wesley's Notes

2 Corinthians 13:7

5 Examine yourselves as to whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Do you not know yourselves, ^athat Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you¹ are ^bdisqualified.

6 But I trust that you will know that we are not disqualified.

Paul Prefers Gentleness

7 Now¹ I pray to God that you do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that you should do what is honorable, though ^awe may seem disqualified.

8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

9 For we are glad ^awhen we are weak and you are strong. And this also we pray, ^bthat you may be made complete.

2 Corinthians 13:7

I pray God that ye may do no evil - To give me occasion of showing my apostolical power. I do not desire to appear approved - By miraculously punishing you. But that ye may do that which is good, though we should be as reprobates - Having no occasion to give that proof of our apostleship.
