Today’s Reading
The Second Epistle to the Church at Corinth
Chapter 10:7-11
7 Look ye on things after the appearance? If any man trust in himself that he is Christ’s, let him consider this again of himself, that as he is Christ’s, even so are we Christ’s.
8 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should have no shame.
9 This I say, that I may not seem as it were to fear you with letters.
10 For the letters, saith he, are sore and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech is of no value.
11 Let such one think this, that such as we are in word by letters, when we are absent, such will we be also in deed, when we are present. (a)
(a) Editor’s thought - Re: vs 11 - Whether present or absent, we mean what we say, and say what we mean. If it is in letters, or in deeds it is always consistent and the same each time. We like the Word of God are unchanging, in so far as the preaching of the same.
