What does 2 Corinthians chapter 13 verse 5 mean?

In: The Bible, Algebra [Edit categories]

Answer:

2Co 13:5 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?

It is Paul speaking to the Corinthians, who seem to have doubted whether or not Christ was speaking through him - In essence he is saying "Examine me, test me. God will give you the wisdom to know the answer - For He is within you, unless you are reprobates" (Those that have deviated from what is moral, right, proper, or good) The Spirit will grant them the knowledge of the truth, unless they have turned away from God.
