“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. In fact being a Disciple means we will have trials in the world and by the worldly people. Help us to always give the […]

“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).  […]

But wee doe all thinges, dearely beloued, for your edifying [teaching]” ( 2 Corinthians 12:19 1587 Geneva Version).  Father, Paul had a gift. His gift was to teach the masses. We too as Disciples of Christ have gifts. Let […]

“And I [Paul] will most gladly bestow [give], and will be bestowed [given] for your soules: though the more I loue [love] you, the lesse I am loued” (2 Corinthians 12:15 1587 Genena Version).  Father, Paul was terribly persecuted as You had said in Your Word before he became a Disciple for You. Through Christ’s […]

“Behold, the thirde time I am ready to come vnto you, and yet will I not be slouthfull to your hinderance: for I seeke not yours, but you: for the children ought not to laye vp for the fathers, but the fathers for the children” (2 Corinthians 12:14 1587 Geneva Version). Father in heaven, thank […]

“The signes of an Apostle were wrought [worked] among you with all patience, with signes, and wonders, and great workes” (2 Corinthians 12:12 1587 Geneva Version).  Father, the Apostles were instrumental in teaching Your Word after Christ rose from the dead. Through His name we are joyful! Hallelujah~

“I was a foole to boast my selfe: yee haue compelled mee: for I ought to haue bene commended of you: for in nothing was I inferiour vnto the very chiefe Apostles, though I bee nothing” (2 Corinthians 12:11 1587 Geneva Version). Father, even though Paul was inspired by You to write Your Words for […]

“And he said vnto me [Paul], ‘My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect through weakenesse.’ Very gladly therefore will I reioyce rather in mine infirmities, that the power of Christ may dwell in me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproches, in necessities, in persecutions, in anguish for Christes […]
