lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices. A lack of forgiveness can cause a break in unity.
Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was opened to me by the Lord. The Lord gave Paul the opportunity to preach.
I had no rest in my spirit, because I did not find Titus my brother; but taking my leave of them, I departed for Macedonia. Paul had no rest because he did not find his brother Titus there. He went to Macedonia afterwards.
Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. Paul thanks God who always leads them to triumph and gives us knowledge.
For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. We give the fragrance of Christ and are mediums of his love.
To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things? The aroma of death > unpleasant and unpleasing. Probably to unbelievers? The aroma of life > to believers, we refresh and renew one another.
For we are not, as so many, peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ. They are not selling God's word, but sincerely preaching it.
Any dolt with half a brain
Can see that humankind has gone insane
To the point where I don’t know if I’ll upset the status quo
If I throw poison in the watermain.
Listen close to everybody’s heart
And hear that breaking sound
Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
And crashing to the ground
I cannot believe my eyes
How the world’s filled with filth and lies
but it’s plain to see evil inside of me
is on the rise.
Look around
We’re living with the lost and found
Just when you feel you’ve almost drowned
You find yourself on solid ground
And you believe there’s good in everybody’s heart
Keep it safe and sound
With hope you can do your part
To turn a life around
I cannot believe my eyes
Is the world finally growing wise
Because it seems to me some kind of harmony
Is on the rise
H: Anyone with half a brain
P: Take it slow
H: Could spend their whole life howling in pain
P: He looks at me and seems to know
H: Because the dark is everywhere and
P: The things that I’m afraid to show
H: Penny doesn’t seem to care that soon the dark in me is all that will remain
P: and suddenly I feel this glow
H: Listen close to everybody’s heart
P: And I believe there’s good in everybody’s heart
H: and hear that breaking sound
P: keep it safe and sound
H: Hopes and dreams are shattering apart
P: With hope you can do your part
H: And crashing to the ground
P: To turn a life around
H: I cannot believe my eyes how the world’s filled with filth and lies
P:I cannot believe my eyes how the world’s finally growing wise
H: But it’s plain to see evil inside of me is on the rise
P: And it’s plain to see rapture inside of me is on the rise
two sides of me. Hope and Hate.
