For to be sure, Christ was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God’s power. Likewise, we are weak in him, yet by God’s power we will live with him in our dealing with you.
Not so that people will see that we have stood the test but so that you will do what is right even though we may seem to have failed.
For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth.
We are glad whenever we are weak but you are strong; and our prayer is that you may be fully restored.
Finally, brothers and sisters, rejoice! Strive for full restoration, encourage one another, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
He calls them to put things right before he comes, so that when he does he may not have to call them to order with harsh discipline.
After last-minute instructions, and farewell. Paul closes with the lovely words of 'the grace'.
Why?
Confess that we are weak, but we will live with Jesus by God's power.
Do not against the truth but for the truth. I am the rock of truth in church and in my life.
Requirement:1)Rejoice 2)Full restoration 3) encourage one another 4)Be of one mind 5)Live in peace.
Rejoice is the symbol of a Christian, it may attract others.
Full restoration: live out the life of Jesus in me
Encourage one another: we are family with love
Be of one mind: in God, in Christ, in one Spirit.
Live in peace: For God loves us, and love is in peace without war or hate!
How great the lovely word "the grace"
How?
Do not fail the test, but be strong, for God makes me strong. Be humble and encourage to face the way forward.
