2 Corinthians 13:7 in Context — 2 Corinthians 13

5 Examinai-vos a vós mesmos, se estais na fé; provai-vos a vós mesmos. Ou não conheceis a vós mesmos, que Jesus Cristo está em vós? A menos que vós estejais reprovados.

6 Mas espero que vós entendereis que nós não somos reprovados.

7 E eu desejo [pedindo] a Deus que nenhum mal façais; não para que sejamos achados aprovados, mas para que vós façais o bem, e nós sejamos como reprovados.

8 Porque nada podemos fazer contra a verdade, mas sim pela verdade.

9 Pois nós nos alegramos quando estamos fracos, e vós estais fortes; e isto também desejamos: o vosso aperfeiçoamento.
