Bible Reading Luke 212 Corinthians 6 Devotional Thoughts A couple days ago I read 2 Corinthians 2:11 where Paul warns us to not be outwitted by Satan. He says, “What I have forgiven, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ, so that we would not be outwitted by Satan, because we are […]

Bible Reading 2 Corinthians 4 Devotional Thoughts I don’t think I noticed that these 2 verses were in the same passage before. 2 Cor 4:8-9 “We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed, perplexed but not driven to despair, persecuted by not forsaken, struck down but not destroyed.” 2 Cor 4:17 “For this light […]
