(Lesson 4836) (04-26-25) 2nd Corinthians 2:12-17
“Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord, I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia. Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. For we are unto God a sweet savour of Christ, in them that are saved, and in them that perish: To the one we are the savour of death unto death; and to the other the savour of life unto life. And who is sufficient for these things? For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ.”
In todahy’s quote, Paul recounted his experience in Troas, where he found a willingness to listen to the gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul concluded by distinguishing himself and his companions from those who peddle the word of God for profit. He emphasized that they speak with sincerity, as commissioned by God, and do so in the sight of God in Christ. ~
