God’s Comfort and Glory – From the Second Epistle to the Corinthians by Saint Paul (vegetarian) in the Holy Bible: Part 2 of 2

Let us continue with excerpts from Chapters 3 to 4 from the Second Epistle to the Corinthians in the Holy Bible, where Saint Paul expounds on God’s Glory and Grace, and our freedom to be bold in spiritual growth in Christ–likeness.

2 Corinthians Chapter 3 “And such trust have we through Christ to God-ward: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also has made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killed, but the spirit gives life.” “Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass, the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

2 Corinthians Chapter 4 “We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; Always bearing about in the body, the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.” “For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worked for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.”
