2 CORINTHIANS 13:5 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?”
Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you — unless, of course, you fail the test? — Paul turns the *tables*: the Corinthians must *dokimázō*, examine/test, themselves. Is Christ *en hymîn*, in you? The *conditional* (*ei mēti*) is *devastating*: *failure* would mean absence of Christ. Self-examination precedes apostolic judgment.
