2 Corinthians

2 Corinthians 13:5–7

⁵Examine 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? ⁶And I hope you will realize that we have not failed the test.

⁷Now 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.
