Note for 2024/05/31 - ‭2 Corinthians 10:1-18 KJV‬ - About Division

Image
  ‭2 Corinthians 10:1-18 KJV‬ [1] Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence am base among you, but being absent am bold toward you: [2] but I beseech you, that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. [3] For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: [4] (for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) [5] casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; [6] and having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. [7] Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we...

Note for 2024/05/30 - ‭2 Corinthians 9:1-15 KJV‬ - God begs with us to do what is right

Image
  ‭2 Corinthians 9:1-15 KJV‬ [1] For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: [2] for I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath provoked very many. [3] Yet have I sent the brethren, lest our boasting of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, as I said, ye may be ready: [4] lest haply if they of Macedonia come with me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say not, ye) should be ashamed in this same confident boasting. [5] Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness. [6] But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. [7] Every man according as he purposeth in his heart,...

Note for 2024/05/30 - ‭2 Corinthians 8:1-24 KJV - Let The Word Direct You‬

  ‭2 Corinthians 8:1-24 KJV‬ [1] Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia; [2] how that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality. [3] For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power they were willing of themselves; [4] praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints. [5] And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God. [6] Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also. [7] Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also. [8] I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sinc...

Note for 2024/05/28 - ‭2 Corinthians 7:1-16 KJV‬ - Commendations

Image
  ‭2 Corinthians 7:1-16 KJV‬ [1] Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. [2] Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man. [3] I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you. [4] Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.  [5] For, when we were come into Macedonia, our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; without were fightings, within were fears. [6] Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus; [7] and not by his coming only, but by the consolation wherewith he was comforted in you, when he told us your earnest desire, your mourning, your fervent mind toward me; so that I rejoiced the more....

Note for 2024/05/27 - ‭2 Corinthians 6:1-18 KJV - The Lord Prepares‬

  ‭2 Corinthians 6:1-18 KJV‬ [1] We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. [2] (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, And in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.) [3] Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: [4] But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, [5] in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; [6] by pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, [7] by the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left, [8] by honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; [9] as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not kil...
