Neville Goddard on 2 Corinthians 13:1-3 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Corinthians 13 in context

Scripture Focus

1This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established.

2I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare:

3Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.

2 Corinthians 13:1-3

Biblical Context

Paul explains that his words are to be established by two or three witnesses, and that his coming will address past sins and future guidance. He asks them to recognize that Christ speaking through him is not weak, but mighty in them.

Neville's Inner Vision

See this text as a map of your inner world. The two or three witnesses are not judges from outside but inner states of consciousness—the calm that remains, the faith that feels inevitable, the gratitude that changes perception. When Paul says every word is established by witnesses, he is naming the inner testimony that confirms truth. If you have spoken a new truth within yourself—claiming a future you intend to inhabit—and the old habit resists, you are being invited to foretell anew: I will return to the belief I want to live, and I will not let the old story override it. The absent voice is the memory of a former self; the writing is your deliberate decision to stand in the new state. The proof of Christ speaking in me is not a distant event but a present power at work in your life: your thoughts, feelings, and actions align with a state that transcends appearances. Christ, the I AM within you, is mighty in you when you attend to this truth and dwell there in awareness.

Practice This Now

Practice this now: close your eyes, and say inwardly, In the mouth of two or three witnesses within me, this belief is established. Then imagine three inner witnesses—calm mind, confident heart, and decisive action—testifying to your new state and feel it real.
