"We have received the same spirit of faith referred to in Scripture, that says: I believed and so I spoke. We also believe, and so we speak. We know that HE, who raised the LORD JESUS, will also raise us, with JESUS, and bring us, with you, into HIS presence. Finally, everything is for your good, so that grace will come more abundantly upon you, and great will be the thanksgiving for the glory of GOD." - 2 Corinthians 4:13-15
(It is worthwhile underlining some features of the portrait of an apostle as Paul sketches it:
- We do not lose heart.
- We do not proceed with trickery nor do we falsify GOD's message.
- We are more than your servants.
- We display for everyone to discover in us the glory of GOD that shines in CHRIST's face.
- We carry the death of JESUS so that HIS life may be revealed in us.
- We believe and that is why we speak.)
