We are not trying to commend

ourselves to you again,

but are giving you an opportunity

to take pride in us, so that you

can answer those who take pride

in what is seen rather than in

what is in the heart.

If we are out of our mind,

it is for the sake of God;

if we are in our right mind,

it is for you. 2 Corinthians 5:12,13

When one was born spiritually

by inviting Jesus into one's heart

must grow according to

God Father's character.

God is love.

Therefore his children commits

sin less, increases gentleness,

humility, services, giving,

generosity, joy, peace and hope

in his character.

Corinthian Church members were

growing painfully so were much

futile talks and confusion.

Paul taught them with examples

of himself and his mission team

in some cases.

They could take it pride.

To God's workers who live in

the presence of God,

men's judgements are no value.

The reason that Paul took his life

as an example for the young

Christians in Corinthian Church

was to give an opportunities

for those who do not see

men's heart but outward.

We seem to be out of our mind

by saying this he says,

but this is only for God and you.

We do not mind even this for

God and for you.

Nurturing spiritual babies and

children is mandatory privileges

then and now.

The 2 Corinthians is the Apostle Paul's second letter to the 

Corinthian Churches. Letter is the most intimate and personal.

Two thousand years ago, the Corinth city in Greece reminds

us today's New York city. The Corinth seaboard city was

then a center of trade, merchandize, wealth and luxury.

Also there was the Venus temple which led people not only

to moral deterioration but also sexual disaster.

The original location of Humanism, which against Creator God

and focus on human, the Corinth city in Greece lay in

spiritually formless, empty and darkness.

Here by God's mercy small lights began to shine. They were the

Lord Jesus' house Churches. They belong to the low social class.

Envious and jealous devil attempted to destroy God's

House Churches by questioning Paul's integrity and Apostleship.

And it caused to delay and complicate the promised loving

collection as well for the poverty stricken Jerusalem church.  

It was the process of the life giving Gospel to us, and it

continues so. How beautiful are the feet those who

bring good news !
