As I have explained in the past, one of the reasons I am doing this blog is I am curious to see what kind of messages one might get from reading the bible. What might one learn as a take-away. Here is my quick summary of the good and bad from 2 Corinthians.
(note: the chapter link takes you to my page on that chapter, the verse link takes you to the verse on biblestudytools.com)
The Good
2:5-7 Be quick to forgive and comfort those who have done wrong
8:14 promote reciprocal altruism
9:11 Be generous
12:14 Persistence
12:15 Generosity
The Bad
5:8 death is better than life
5:10 do what the church says, you will be judged when you die for it
7:12 Don't worry about the person you have wronged, just get good with God
8:3-4 Poor people should give to the church beyond their means
12:10 Be happy with persecution
13:3-6 request for proof met with threat
