Examine Yourselves

¹This third time do I come unto you; on the mouth of two witnesses or three shall every saying be established;+ ²I have said before, and I say it before, as being present, the second time, and being absent, now, do I write to those having sinned before, and to all the rest, that if I come again, I will not spare,+ ³since a proof ye seek of the Christ speaking in me, who to you is not infirm, but is powerful in you,+ ⁴for even if he was crucified from infirmity, yet he doth live from the power of God; for we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him from the power of God toward you.+ ⁵Your own selves try ye, if ye are in the faith; your own selves prove ye; do ye not know your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you, if ye be not in some respect disapproved of?+ ⁶and I hope that ye shall know that we--we are not disapproved of;+ ⁷and I pray before God that ye do no evil, not that we may appear approved, but that ye may do that which is right, and we may be as disapproved;+ ⁸for we are not able to do anything against the truth, but for the truth;+ ⁹for we rejoice when we may be infirm, and ye may be powerful; and this also we pray for--your perfection!+ ¹⁰because of this, these things--being absent--I write, that being present, I may not treat any sharply, according to the authority that the Lord did give me for building up, and not for casting down.+

Benediction and Farewell

¹¹Henceforth, brethren, rejoice; be made perfect, be comforted, be of the same mind, be at peace, and the God of the love and peace shall be with you;+ ¹²salute one another in an holy kiss;+ ¹³salute you do all the saints;+ ¹⁴the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, is with you all! Amen.+
