In context

5 Examine your own selves, whether you are in the faith. Test your own selves. Or don’t you know about your own selves, that Jesus Christ is in you?—unless indeed you are disqualified.

6 But I hope that you will know that we aren’t disqualified.

7 Now I pray to God that you do no evil; not that we may appear approved, but that you may do that which is honorable, though we may seem to have failed.

8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

9 For we rejoice when we are weak and you are strong. We also pray for this: your becoming perfect.
