Deceivableness

For men of that stamp are not bondservants of Christ our Lord, but are slaves to their own appetites; and by their plausible words and their flattery they utterly deceive the minds of the simple.

We are; for, unlike most teachers, we are not fraudulent hucksters of God's Message; but with transparent motives, as commissioned by God, in God's presence and in communion with Christ, so we speak.

Nay, we have renounced the secrecy which marks a feeling of shame. We practice no cunning tricks, nor do we adulterate God's Message. But by a full clear statement of the truth we strive to commend ourselves in the presence of God to every human conscience.

For men of this stamp are sham apostles, dishonest workmen, assuming the garb of Apostles of Christ.

So we shall no longer be babes nor shall we resemble mariners tossed on the waves and carried about with every changing wind of doctrine according to men's cleverness and unscrupulous cunning, making use of every shifting device to mislead.

But these men, like brute beasts, created (with their natural instincts)

That they

For God did not send His Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

But the testimony on my behalf which I accept is not from man; though I say all this in order that you may be saved.

Brethren, the longing of my heart, and my prayer to God, on behalf of my countrymen is for their salvation.

for they still try to prevent our preaching to the Gentiles so that they may find salvation. They thus continually fill up the measure of their own sins, and God's anger in its severest form has overtaken them.

who is willing for all mankind to be saved and come to a full knowledge of the truth.
