  3. Rebellion

  4. 1 Corinthians 3:18 …not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a "fool" so that he may become wise.

  5. John 7:27-29 “But we know where Jesus is from; when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from.” “Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. I am not here on my own, but he who sent me is true.”

  6. Matthew 23:37 37"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing.

  7. 2 Corinthians 1:12-14 12Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God. We have done so not according to worldly wisdom but according to God's grace.

  8. 2 Corinthians 1:12-14 13For we do not write you anything you cannot read or understand. And I hope that, 14as you have understood us in part, you will come to understand fully that you can boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of the Lord Jesus.

  9. 2 Corinthians 10:7 “You are looking only on the surface of things. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should consider again that we belong to Christ just as much as he.”

  10. 2 Corinthians 4:2 “We have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.”

  11. 2 Corinthians 1:13 “For we do not write you anything you cannot read or understand.”

  12. 2 Corinthians 10:10-12 10For some say, "His letters are weighty and forceful, but in person he is unimpressive and his speaking amounts to nothing." 11Such people should realize that what we are in our letters when we are absent, we will be in our actions when we are present.

  13. 2 Corinthians 1:15-16 15Because I was confident of this, I planned to visit you first so that you might benefit twice.I plannedto visit you on my way to Macedonia and to come back to you from Macedonia, and then to have you send me on my way to Judea.

  14. 2 Corinthians 1:15-16 15Because I was confident of this, I planned to visit you first so that you might benefit twice.I plannedto visit you on my way to Macedonia and to come back to you from Macedonia, and then to have you send me on my way to Judea.

  15. 2 Corinthians 1:17 17When I planned this, did I do it lightly? Or do I make my plans in a worldly manner so that in the same breath I say, "Yes, yes" and "No, no"?

  16. 2 Corinthians 1:18-19 18But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not "Yes" and "No." 19For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by me and Silas and Timothy, was not "Yes" and "No," but in him it has always been "Yes."

  17. 2 Corinthians 1:18-19 18But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not "Yes" and "No."19For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by me and Silas and Timothy, was not "Yes" and "No," but in him it has always been "Yes."

  18. 2 Corinthians 1:20 20For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ.

  19. 2 Corinthians 1:20 And so through him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the glory of God.

  20. 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 21Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, 22set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

  21. 2 Corinthians 1:21-22 21Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, 22set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

  22. 2 Corinthians 1:23 23I call God as my witness that it was in order to spare you that I did not return to Corinth.

  23. 2 Corinthians 1:24 24Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm.

  24. 2 Corinthians 2:1-4 1So I made up my mind that I would not make another painful visit to you. 2For if I grieve you, who is left to make me glad but you whom I have grieved? 3I wrote as I did so that when I came I should not be distressed by those who ought to make me rejoice.

  25. 2 Corinthians 2:1-4 I had confidence in all of you, that you would all share my joy. 4For I wrote you out of great distress and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to grieve you but to let you know the depth of my love for you.

  26. James 5:19-20 19My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, 20remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
