“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).

“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 […]

“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 […]

“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 […]

“It is not expedient for me no doubt to reioyce: for I will come to visions and reuelations of the Lorde. I know a man in Christ aboue fourteene yeeres agone, (whether he were in the body, I can not tell, or out of the body, I can not tell: God knoweth) which was taken […]

“Haue I committed an offence, because I abased [degrade/belittle] my selfe, that ye might be exalted, and because I preached to you ye Gospell of God freely” (2 Corinthians 11:7 1587 Geneva Version)?  Father, Paul was a perfect example of humbleness and placing others above himself. Please give us the humble spirit we so need […]
