“Now some are puffed up, as though I would not come to you. But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power. For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power. What will ye? shall […]

“For this cause have I sent unto you Timotheus, who is my beloved son, and faithful in the Lord, who shall bring you into remembrance of my ways which be in Christ, as I teach every where in every church” (1 Corinthians 4:17 KJV).  Father, show us when someone is sent by You to encourage […]

“For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I [Paul] have begotten you through the gospel. Wherefore I beseech you, be ye followers of me” (1 Corinthians 4:15, 16 KJV). Father, do we remember who taught us about Jesus Christ? Was it more than […]

Anything evil comes from Your adversary […]

“And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another” (1 Corinthians 4:6 KJV) “Nowe these things, brethren, I […]

“Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God” (1 Corinthians 4:5 KJV).  Father, we are so blessed as children of You. We understand You […]

Scripture Seekers,I find that sometimes the 1560 Geneva Bible explains better the Scriptures. I’ve used this for today’s verses.
