Top Highlights
“What is a thorn in the flesh? When we think of a thorn, we think of a somewhat minor irritation. But the root word Paul used for thorn here describes a tent stake, not a thumbtack.” (2 Corinthians 12:7)
“We really don’t believe God’s grace is sufficient until we believe we are insufficient” (2 Corinthians 12:9–10)
“For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. (Matthew 6:21)” (2 Corinthians 9:7)
“Why is our affliction light and not heavy? Because even the worst of it, by the measure of eternity, is but for a moment. This is partially true in the sense that most of our troubles come and go, and ‘this too shall pass.’ It is also true in the sense that even a long life by this world’s standard is nothing on the scale of eternity. Even if one were to live for a hundred years and suffer every day, by the measure of eternity it is but for a moment.” (2 Corinthians 4:17–18)
“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal: When Paul fought, his weapons were not material but spiritual, suited for spiritual war.” (2 Corinthians 10:3–6)
