“For beholde, this thing that ye haue bene godly sory, what great care it hath wrought in you: yea, what clearing of yourselues: yea, what indignation: yea, what feare: yea, howe great desire: yea, what a zeale: yea, what reuenge: in all things ye haue shewed your selues, that ye are pure in this matter” […]

“For godly sorowe causeth repentance vnto saluation, not to be repented of: but the worldly sorowe causeth death” (2 Corinthians 7:10 1587 Geneva Bible).  Father, it can be difficult to admit we have sinned.

“As sorowing, and yet always reioycing: as poore, and yet make many riche: as hauing nothing, and yet possessing all things” (2 Corinthians 6:10 1587 Geneva Bible).  Father, within Your Spirit we have peace and are joyful. On the hard days please remind us of this. Through Christ’s holy name we ask. Thank You~

“By the worde of trueth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousnesse on the right hand, and on the left. By honour, and dishonour, by euill report, and good report, as deceiuers, and yet true: As vnknowen, and yet knowen: as dying, and beholde, we liue: as chastened, and yet not killed” […]

“Wherefore, henceforth know we no man after the flesh, yea though wee had knowen Christ after the flesh, yet nowe henceforth know we him no more [after we became His followers]. Therefore if any man be in Christ, let him be a newe creature. Olde things are passed away: beholde, all things are become newe” […]

“For we walke by faith, and not by sight” (2 Corinthians 5:7 1587 Geneva Bible).  Father, without faith it is impossible to please You. Through Christ’s holy name we ask You to heal any unbelief within us. Thank You~
