I have become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some. In a race all runners run but only one gets the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. I beat my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.

|
|
|
2 Corinthians 10: How does Paul wage war?

We do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. They have divine power to demolish strongholds.

And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.

|
|
Galatians 2: Why does Paul oppose Peter?
|
He was clearly in the wrong because before certain men came from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles. But when they arrived, he began to draw back and separate himself from the Gentiles because he was afraid of those who belonged to the circumcision group. Jews joined him in this hypocrisy. They were not acting in line with the gospel so Paul says, “You are a Jew, yet you live like a Gentile and not like a Jew.”

His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of two, making peace, and in this one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.
|

Encourage young men to be self-controlled, set them an example by doing what is good; in your teaching show integrity, seriousness, and soundness of speech. Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them. Teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age. These are the things you should teach.
