“Pavl [Paul] an Apostle (not of men, neither by man, but by Iesus Christ, and God the Father which hath raised him from the dead)” (Galations 1:1 1587 Geneva Version). Father, we see here that You raised Christ from the dead after His crucifiction. You are Lord God. The Father of creation, and we are […]

“All the Saintes salute you. The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ, and the loue of God, and the communion of the holy Ghost be with you all. [The seconde Epistle to the Corinthians, written from Philippi, a citie in Macedonia, and sent by Titus and Lucas.] (2 Corinthians 13:13, 14 1587 Geneva Version). Father, […]

“Finally brethren, fare ye wel: be perfect: be of good comfort: be of one minde: liue in peace, and the God of loue and peace shalbe with you. Greete one another with an holy kisse” (2 Corinthians 13:11, 12 Geneva Version). Father, You always meant for Your people to be all these things above. Please […]

“Nowe I pray vnto God that yee doe none euill [evil], not that we should seeme approued, but that ye should doe that which is honest: though we be as reprobates. For wee can not doe any thing against the trueth, but for the trueth” (2 Corinthians 13:7, 8 1587 Geneva Version). Father, Paul has […]

“But I [Paul] trust that ye shall knowe that wee are not reprobates [troublemakers]” (2 Corinthians 13:6 1587 Geneva Version). Father, others in the world may think Your Disciples are troublemakers.

“I [Paul] tolde you before, and tell you before: as though I had bene present the seconde time, so write I nowe being absent to them which heretofore haue sinned and to all others, that if I come againe, I will not spare” (2 Corinthians 13:2 1587 Geneva Version).  Father, Paul’s voice scolds those who […]

“Lo this is the thirde time that I [Paul] come vnto you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall euery worde stand” (2 Corinthians 13:1 1587 Geneva Version). Father, Paul understood he needed witnesses to his sermons. That in turn they could spread the Word as a ripple out into the world. Through […]

“I feare least when I come againe, my God abase [humiliate] me among you, and I shall bewaile [make to cry] many of them which haue sinned already, and haue not repented of the vncleannesse, and fornication, and wantonnesse which they haue committed” (2 Corinthians 12:21 1587 Geneva Version).  Father in Heaven, this is proof […]

“For I [Paul] feare least when I come, I shall not finde you such as I would: and that I shalbe found vnto you such as ye woulde not, and least there be strife, enuying [envy], wrath, contentions, backebitings [back stabbers], whisperings [against others], swellings [not humble] and discord” (2 Corinthians 12:20 1587 Geneva Version).  […]
