2 Corinthians 13:3-5
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
3 since you are seeking a proof of Christ speaking in me, Who is not weak toward you, but is strong in you. 4 For indeed He was crucified because-of weakness[a], but He lives because-of the power of God. For indeed we are weak in Him, but we will live with Him because of the power of God toward you.
Prove Yourselves, That Christ Is In You!
5 Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith! Prove[b] yourselves! Or do you not know yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you?— unless indeed you are disapproved[c].

2 Corinthians 13:3-5
New International Version
3 since you are demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me.(A) He is not weak in dealing with you, but is powerful among you. 4 For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness,(B) yet he lives by God’s power.(C) Likewise, we are weak(D) in him, yet by God’s power we will live with him(E) in our dealing with you.
5 Examine yourselves(F) to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves.(G) Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you(H)—unless, of course, you fail the test?
