1 This intended visit of mine is my third visit to you. "On the evidence of two or three witnesses every charge shall be sustained." 2 Those who cling to their old sins, and indeed all of you, I have forewarned and still forewarn (as I did on my second visit when present, so I do now, though absent) 3 since you want a practical proof of the fact that Christ speaks by my lips--He who is not feeble towards you, but powerful among you. 4 For though it is true that He was crucified through weakness, yet He now lives through the power of God. We also are weak, sharing His weakness, but with Him we shall be full of life to deal with you through the power of God. 5 Test yourselves to discover whether you are true believers: put your own selves under examination. Or do you not know that Jesus Christ is within you, unless you are insincere? 6 But I trust that you will recognize that we are not insincere. 7 And our prayer to God is that you may do nothing wrong; not in order that our sincerity may be demonstrated, but that you may do what is right, even though our sincerity may seem to be doubtful. 2 Corinthians 13:1-7, Weymouth New Testament.
