2 Corinthians
Chapters 13:1-6
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
1This will be my third time to visit you. And remember, “For every complaint there must be two or three people to say that they know it is true.”
2When I was with you the second time, I gave a warning to those who had sinned. I am not there now, but I am giving another warning to them and to anyone else who has sinned: When I come to you again, I will punish you.
3You want proof that Christ is speaking through me. My proof is that he is not weak in dealing with you but is showing his power among you.
4It is true that Christ was weak when he was killed on the cross, but he lives now by God’s power. It is also true that we share his weakness, but in dealing with you, we will be alive in him by God’s power.
5Look closely at yourselves. Test yourselves to see if you are living in the faith. Don’t you realize that Christ Jesus is in you? Of course, if you fail the test, he is not in you.
6But I hope you will see that we have not failed the test.
