1I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness; but indeed you are bearing with me.2For I am jealous for you with a godly jealousy; for I betrothed you to one husband, so that to Christ I might present you as a pure virgin.3But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ. 4For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully. 5For I consider myself not in the least inferior to the most eminent apostles. 6But even if I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not so in knowledge; in fact, in every way we have made this evident to you in all things.
How grounded are you in your faith, the simplicity of salvation through Jesus Christ?
Has anyone ever told you that you must go to church on the sabbath? That you must be baptized to be saved?
Do you realize that these things are a different Gospel and not of the Holy Spirit? This is not what Jesus taught. These are mans additions to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It's no different than the Jews additions to the Law.
It is better to be unskilled in speech and to have knowledge, i.e. understand the Bible than to be led astray.
Don't be fooled, keep the simplicity of salvation through Jesus Christ and read your bible! To attain its knowledge is better than speech any day!
Blessings, David
