我冀爾知我儕非見棄者、

And I trust that you will discover that we have not failed the test.

I hope you will discover that I haven’t failed the test.

I hope you will find out that we have not failed the test.

As you test yourselves, I hope you will recognize that we have not failed the test of apostolic authority.

And I hope you will recognize that we ourselves do not fail the test.

But I expect that you will realize that we ourselves do not fail the test.

But I trust that you will know that we are not disqualified.

But I hope that ye shall know that we are not reprobate.

For I am afraid that somehow when I come I will not find you what I wish, and you will find me not what you wish. I am afraid that somehow there may be quarreling, jealousy, intense anger, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorder.

Because of this I am writing these things while absent, so that when I arrive I may not have to deal harshly with you by using my authority– the Lord gave it to me for building up, not for tearing down!

since you are demanding proof that Christ is speaking through me. He is not weak toward you but is powerful among you.For indeed he was crucified by reason of weakness, but he lives because of God’s power. For we also are weak in him, but we will live together with him, because of God’s power toward you.
