2 Corinthians 13:4

The cross and atonementThe resurrectionGod's power and sovereigntyJesus Christ

2 I already warned you the second time I was with you. So now in my absence I warn those who sinned earlier and everyone else: If I return, I will not spare anyone,

3 since you are demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you.

For He was indeed crucified in weakness, yet He lives by God’s power. And though we are weak in Him, yet by God’s power we will live with Him to serve you.

5 Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Can’t you see for yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you—unless you actually fail the test?

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