TSK · 2 Corinthians 4:5

But Jesus called them and said,“You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in high positions use their authority over them.

So Jesus said to them,“The kings of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those in authority over them are called‘benefactors.’

John replied,“No one can receive anything unless it has been given to him from heaven.

If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you too ought to wash one another’s feet.

When Peter saw this, he declared to the people,“Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this? Why do you stare at us as if we had made this man walk by our own power or piety?

Now in that city was a man named Simon, who had been practicing magic and amazing the people of Samaria, claiming to be someone great.

You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, proclaiming the good news of peace through Jesus Christ(he is Lord of all)–

If we live, we live for the Lord; if we die, we die for the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s.

So I boast in Christ Jesus about the things that pertain to God.

but we preach about a crucified Christ, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles.

What is Apollos, really? Or what is Paul? Servants through whom you came to believe, and each of us in the ministry the Lord gave us.

For since I am free from all I can make myself a slave to all, in order to gain even more people.

So I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God says,“Jesus is cursed,” and no one can say,“Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, the one who was proclaimed among you by us– by me and Silvanus and Timothy– was not“Yes” and“No,” but it has always been“Yes” in him.

For the love of Christ controls us, since we have concluded this, that Christ died for all; therefore all have died.

Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from goodwill.

For we never appeared with flattering speech, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed– God is our witness–

who must be silenced because they mislead whole families by teaching for dishonest gain what ought not to be taught.

And in their greed they will exploit you with deceptive words. Their condemnation pronounced long ago is not sitting idly by; their destruction is not asleep.
