2 Corinthians 13

⁵ Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Jesus Christ is in you—unless you fail the test?

⁶ And I hope you will realize that we have not failed the test.

⁷ Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong—not that we will appear to have stood the test, but that you will do what is right, even if we appear to have failed.

⁸ For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.

⁹ In fact, we rejoice when we are weak but you are strong, and our prayer is for your perfection.
