Exegesis
This is followed by the conditional clause ei esté en tē pístei {εἰ ἐστὲ ἐν τῇ πίστει | ei esté en tē pístei}, linking the ongoing imperative to verify one’s standing “in the faith.”
Finally, the exceptive clause ei mḗti adókimoi esté {εἰ μὴτι ἀδόκιμοί ἐστε | ei mḗti adókimoi esté} “unless you are unapproved” serves as a solemn warning, contrasting true believers with those who fail divine scrutiny.
Root and etymology
peîrapeira
“trial, test”
In context — 2 Corinthians 13:5
Continue testing yourselves to confirm whether you are in the faith; continue examining yourselves. Or do you not recognize within yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed you are disqualified ?
