1 | How to Understand andApply this Passage? | 2 Cor 10:12 | quvmoh | 205989 | ||
Paul tells us to be the best in what situation we are in. If employees or slaves, then honor the one we work for as if working for God. If the employer or Owner, then act as God or Christ would. That doesn't mean he condoned such, just how we should act in such a class within society. However, here he is referring to social classes in a church setting. His point here is there shouldn't be any. Quvmoh |

Dear Quumoh, You wrote, "That doesn't mean he condoned such..." (sic) Nor does it mean that he was trying to establish a classless society. I can see why you are interpreting the verse in this fashion. Taken out of context, that does appear to be what it saying. We need to be extremely careful about context (see post #156918 and #158836). Paul is speaking of his own authority to instruct and rebuke (2 Corinthians 10:1-9), responding to the false teachers who make the objections in v10. Read this statement in the context of the whole chapter. Avoid error by reading every verse in the context of a passage, and every passage in the context of a chapter, and every chapter in the context of the book. In Him, Doc |
