2 Corinthians 1:12 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

For I am the more emboldened to look for this, because I am conscious of my integrity; seeing this is our rejoicing — Even in the deepest adversity. The testimony of our conscience — Whatever others think of us. That in simplicity — Having one end in view, aiming singly at the glory of God. And godly sincerity — Without any tincture of guile, dissimulation, or disguise. Not with carnal wisdom, but by the grace of God — Not by natural, but divine, wisdom. We have had our conversation in the world — In the whole world; in every circumstance.

2 Corinthians 1:12

12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
