2 Corinthians 13:7-9
Living Bible
7 I pray that you will live good lives, not because that will be a feather in our caps,[a] proving that what we teach is right; no, for we want you to do right even if we ourselves are despised. 8 Our responsibility is to encourage the right at all times, not to hope for evil.[b] 9 We are glad to be weak and despised if you are really strong. Our greatest wish and prayer is that you will become mature Christians.
