2 Corinthians 1:24

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

I do not mean to imply that we lord it over your faith; rather, we are workers with you for your joy because you stand firm in faith.

See the chapter Copy

and begins to beat his fellow slaves and eats and drinks with drunkards,

or rather so that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith, both yours and mine.

That is true. They were broken off on account of unbelief, but you stand on account of belief. So do not become arrogant, but be afraid.

through whom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand, and we boast in our hope of sharing the glory of God.

Now I want you to understand, brothers and sisters, the good news that I proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which also you stand,

What then is Apollos? What is Paul? Servants through whom you came to believe, as the Lord assigned to each.

For you put up with it when someone makes slaves of you or preys upon you or takes advantage of you or puts on airs or gives you a slap in the face.

For we do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus’s sake.

for we walk by faith, not by sight.

Do not lord it over those in your charge, but be examples to the flock.
