“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 […]

“Proue your selues whether ye are in the faith: examine your selues: knowe yee not your owne selues, howe that Iesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates [trouble makers]” (2 Corinthians 13:5 1587 Geneva Version)?  Father, as we see our lost state as sinners, we can then accept Christ as our Savior. After […]

“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 […]

“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).  […]

“Therefore it is no great thing, though his [Satan] ministers transforme themselues, as though they were the ministers of righteousnes, whose end shall be according to their workes” (2 Corinthians 11:15 1587 Geneva Version).  Father, please give us eyes to see, otherwise known as discernment. Help us to always pray to know who is of […]

“For such false apostles are deceitfull workers, and transforme themselues into the Apostles of Christ. And no marueile: for Satan himselfe is transformed into an Angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:13, 14 1587 Geneva Version). Father, way back in Paul’s day there were false Disciples of Christ and false Apostles. As there are today many […]

“Let such one thinke this, that such as wee are in woorde by letters, when we are absent, such wil we be also in deede, when we are present. For wee dare not make our selues of the nomber, or to compare our selues to them, which praise themselues: but they vnderstand not that they […]

“Neither is it that other men should be eased and you grieued: But vpon like condition, at this time your abundance supplieth their lacke: That also their abundance may bee for your lacke, that there may be equalitie: As it is written, ‘Hee that gathered much, had nothing ouer, and hee that gathered litle, had […]

“Seing then we haue these promises, dearely beloued, let vs clense our selues from all filthinesse of the flesh and spirit, and finish our sanctification in the feare of God” (2 Corinthians 7:1 1587 Geneva Bible).
