5. Examine yourselves, whether you are in the faith; prove your own selves. Know you not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, unless you are counterfeits?
6. But I trust that you shall know that we are not counterfeits.
7. Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that you should do that which is honest, though we be as failures.
8. For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
9. For we are glad, when we are weak, and you are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
