Quote by Neil T. Anderson
“Chapter 20 Quote: I have often been intrigued by Paul's statement in 2 Corinthians 7:4 "Great is my confidence in you, great is my boasting on your behalf" NASB. Then at the end of the chapter, in verse 16, he says: "I am glad I can have complete confidence in you." Has Paul lost his mind? I could see where he would have confidence in the church at Ephesus, but the church at Corinth? It was a church racked with dissension, and morality and carnality of every kind. Is this just some type of phony psychological hype? No, I believe Paul conveyed a very biblical principle: The work that God begins, he completes. This underscores the value to be gained by expressing confidence in others and encouraging one another to keep on keeping on.”
