Exp God – Oct 3, Weak with Those Who Are Weak
[29] Who is weak without my feeling that weakness? Who is led astray, and I do not burn with anger? (2Co 11:29 NLTse)
…When a brother or sister suffers, we are affected. Our calling is not to be solitary Christians but to be members of a priesthood (1Pe 2:9)…
…When he learned that false teachers had caused Christians in Corinth to stumble in their faith, Paul burned with indignation…rejoice when a church member rejoices and to weep when a fellow member weeps (1Co 12:26)…
…We must do everything with our fellow Christian in mind (1Co 14:12)…
[9] But you are not like that, for you are a chosen people. You are royal priests,*[ Greek a royal priesthood.] a holy nation, God’s very own possession. As a result, you can show others the goodness of God, for he called you out of the darkness into his wonderful light. (1Pe 2:9 NLTse)
[26] If one part suffers, all the parts suffer with it, and if one part is honored, all the parts are glad. (1Co 12:26 NLTse)
[12] And the same is true for you. Since you are so eager to have the special abilities the Spirit gives, seek those that will strengthen the whole church. (1Co 14:12 NLTse)
