“Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.”
2 Corinthians 7:2 KJV
Paul exhorts, “Again, I urge you, make room for us in your hearts, for we have wronged no one, corrupted no one, and taken advantage of no one.” Paul says he has hated no one, nor led people astray from the right doctrine, nor corrupted anyone’s faith, nor cheated anyone for financial gain. Every minister of God should set these goals for his or her calling: 1) do no wrong to another nor to ‘hate’ anyone; 2) to not corrupt or lead anyone astray; 3) to never use his or her authority to take advantage of anyone by cheating for personal gain. Paul had a blameless history in ministry. We need to follow this example. Every church and denomination riddled with legal cases needs to turn away from their wicked ways, repent and turn to God for mercy. Amen!
