How did Paul speak to the saints in Corinth?

Back to Study the Book of Second Corinthians

With an open mouth and open heart, that is, Paul meant exactly what he said. He did not walk in craftiness or handle the Word of God deceitfully. What Paul heard from Christ he told to them. He did not declare some parts of the Word and hold back other parts in order to use the Corinthians for his own purposes.

All of us who serve Christ must learn to tell people the truth in love. If we hold back part of the Word in order to please people we will have to answer for our deceitfulness before the Judgment Seat of Christ.
