2 Corinthians 5:12-21 The Ministry of Reconciliation NKJV

2 Corinthians 11:16-21 I say again, let no one think me a fool. If otherwise, at least receive me as a fool, that I also may boast a little.


What I speak, I speak not according to the Lord, but as it were, foolishly, in this confidence of boasting.


Seeing that many boast according to the flesh, I also will boast.


For you put up with fools gladly, since you yourselves are wise!


For you put up with it if one brings you into bondage, if one devours you, if one takes from you, if one exalts himself, if one strikes you on the face.


To our shame I say that we were too weak for that! But in whatever anyone is bold--I speak foolishly--I am bold also.


2 Corinthians 12:11-13 I have become a fool in boasting, you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I behind the most eminent apostles, though I am nothing.


Truly the signs of an apostle were accomplished among you with all perseverance, in signs and wonders and mighty deeds.


For what is it in which you were inferior to other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong!


Romans 6:5-12 For if we have been united together in the likeness of His death, certainly we also shall be in the likeness of His resurrection,


knowing this, that our old man was crucified with Him, that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves of sin.


For he who has died has been freed from sin.


Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him,


knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has domination over Him.


For the death that he died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God.


Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.


Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.


2 Corinthians 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.


For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds,


casting down arguments and every high things that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,


and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.


Ephesians 6:17-20 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints--

and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel,

for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

Isaiah 53:6-9 All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth.

He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken.

And they made His grave with the wicked-- But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth.

For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
