“If I give away everything I own so that I may boast but do not have love‚ I gain nothing.” In this verse from Paul’s letter to the Corinthians‚ Paul gives an important message.

Substance Overall‚ it is this author’s opinion that Anyabwile was successful in providing a clear exposition of 2 Corinthians 12:5-10. However‚ this author was unsure of Anyabwile’s primary theme.

In the middle of the sermon‚ the emphasis shifted to the dangers of pride‚ and at the conclusion of the sermon‚ the focus of attention was placed on God’s power and how God’s power is perfected in the Christian’s weakness

My bible passage was 2 Corinthians‚ verses 11.1 through 15. Before doing more in depth research on this passage‚ I thought the clear message was that Paul was okay with boasting to the apostles‚ because he had done many things to prove himself to the apostles. However‚ after reading my passage thoroughly and doing much more research‚ I have come to the conclusion that 2 Corinthians 11.1-15 is only fully clear when one takes into account the hardships Paul has been through‚ and how humble he is despite

In Corinthians 15:13-14‚ Paul the Apostle says “If there is no resurrection of the dead‚ then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised‚ our preaching is useless and so is your faith (Holy Bible).
