II Corinthians 1:12
Now this is our boast:
What we will testify to on the Day of the Lord (see v. 14).
Our conscience testifies
We have a clear conscience.
That we have conducted ourselves
Our behavior.
In the world
Wherever we go, whoever we talk to.
And especially in our relations with you,
We paid particular attention to our treatment of our own family members.
In the holiness
Our being separate from the world.
And sincerity
Integrity and honesty, no masks.
That are from God.
The way God treats us, His children.
We have done so not according to worldly wisdom
Not the way people who don't know the Lord treat each other.
But according to God's grace.
God blesses us abundantly, even though we don't deserve it. And He doesn't give us the punishment we deserve; this is His mercy.
