2 CORINTHIANS 13:7 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.”
Now we pray to God that you will not do anything wrong — not so that people will see that we have stood the test but so that you will do what is right even if we fail the test — Paul's *prayer* (*euchomai* + *proseúchomai*) prioritizes the Corinthians' *moral rectitude* (*kalos*) over his own *vindication*. *Selflessness* characterizes genuine apostolic care. His *reputation* is *secondary* to their *righteousness*.
