reprobates.
 Did they demand a proof of Christ speaking in him? Were hot they themselves proof enough? Had He not spoken to their souls in that servant of His who first caused His voice to be heard in Corinth? As surely as they were in the faith, which they did not at all question, he was an apostle-if not to others, assuredly to them.... the argument derives all its force from the certainty that those appealed to were in the faith, not in the least that they were uncertain. That they were in the faith through Paul's preaching ought to have been an unanswerable proof that Christ spoke through him (Notes on 2 Corinthians 13:1-5 by W. Kelly)
 If they questioned that Christ was in him, let them look to themselves as to whether Christ was in them, for, if not, they were reprobates — cast out and good for nothing. That they were in the faith through Paul's preaching should have been an unanswerable proof that Christ had spoken through him. (2 Corinthians 13 by H. Smith)
 If they were reprobate, having confessed Christ in vain, there was no force in the appeal, which derives all its power from their confidence that Christ was in them as the fruit of the apostle's preaching. (Notes on 2 Corinthians 13:1-5 by W. Kelly)

examine your own selves if ye be in the faith; prove your own selves: do ye not recognise yourselvesg, that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed ye be reprobates?

JND Translation Notes

g
"Yourselves" is ambiguous in English; but it is the accusative after "recognize," not "yourselves know" but "know yourselves."

W. Kelly Translation

5
try your own selves whether ye be in the faith, prove your own selves. Or recognize ye not as to your own selves that Jesus Christ is in you, unless indeed ye be reprobate?
