Neville Goddard on 2 Corinthians 13:2-4 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Corinthians 13 in context

Scripture Focus

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.

4For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you.

2 Corinthians 13:2-4

Biblical Context

Paul warns he will be present to address sin and asserts that Christ speaks in him with a power that is mighty in believers. He reminds us that though the cross may appear as weakness, life comes by the power of God, and we shall live by that power toward others.

Neville's Inner Vision

Picture Paul as the inner voice of your own consciousness, speaking not to condemn you from without but to awaken you to your real self. When you seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, remember that the proof is only as strong as your reply to this living Christ within; it is mighty in you because it is your own awareness. The cross—your old assumptions, fears, and limits—appears as weakness only until you realize they are dissolving in the power of God you already possess. By that power you live, not by the weakness of the ordinary mind, and so we also are weak in him, yet live with him by the power of God toward you. The coming again is the inner visitation when you recognize that the I AM is Christ speaking through you, transforming your thoughts, your body, your world. The evidence you seek is not external signs but the inner resurrection: your desires clarified, your choices aligned with divine life, and your relationships touched by that living power.
