The apostle thus sought, in the most decided and impressive manner, to correct the false and dangerous ideas and practices which were prevailing in the Corinthian church. He spoke plainly, yet in love for their souls. In his warnings and reproofs, light from the throne of God was shining upon them, to reveal the hidden sins that were defiling their lives and characters. Yet how would it be received?{LP 171.3} | |

Derved forsøgte apostlen, på den mest afgjort og indtryksfulde måde, at rette op på de falske og farlige tanker og skikke som herskede i korintermenigheden. Han talte tydeligt, dog i kærlighed for deres sjæle. I advarsler og irettesættelser, lys fra Guds trone skinnede på dem, for at åbenbare de skjulte synder som besmittede deres liv og karakter. Hvordan ville det dog blive modtaget? |
