Paul's Manner of Life
Part X - Honesty
General Outline of verses used in audio sermon

Are you tired of the persecutions, rejections, arguments, the 'hate' you receive ... and all you are trying to do is live to serve and please God by following Paul's 'ways' and making those changes in your life - or at least trying... - as the Scriptures tell us to do?

Maybe we have been sincere in our trying to do Paul's ways
but NOT IN HIS 'MANNER' OF DOING THOSE WAYS?



Let's consider these things as we learn to live Paul's ways - the ways taught to us by the Risen Saviour.  Without considering these things listed below, we may be doing more damage to our 'listeners' than we realize.
For meat destroy not the work of God.
All things indeed are pure; but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.
Romans 14:20

Paul's Manner of Life to Us
Review:

13.  Honesty
Here a few thoughts and words on honesty as a Christian within this sermon.

Paul's 'crew' - last of the apostles
I Corinthians 4:9-21
I Corinthians 9:2

II Corinthians 6:6+  (we as ambassadors of Christ - reconciled to God - are made the righteousness of God in him - see 5:20,21)
in much patience
in afflictions
in necessities
in distresses
in stripes
in imprisonments
in tumults
in labours
in watchings
in fastings
by pureness
by kjnowledge
by longsuffering
by kindness
by Holy Ghost (Galatians 5:22-26)
by love unfeigned (truthful - real)
by word of truth
by power of God (KJV today)
by armour of rightesousness - on right and left hand (KJB)
by honour and dishonour
by evil report and good report
as deceives, and yet true
as unknown, and yet well known
as dying, and behold we live
as chastend, and not killed
as sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing
as poor, yet making many rich
as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.


Then, also read 11-13 to top it all off!
WE are enlarged with these things, too.
See I Corinthians 13:11
See Ephesians 4:14

Paul takes pleasures in infirmities - can we?
II Corinthians 12:9,10
II Corinthians 5:15 - we are a new creature!


Honesty
II Corinthians 13:7-10; 11-14
Romans 13:13
II Corinthians 4:2
I Timothy 2:2
