As a Greek scholar and full-time minister of Christ, I offer you the authentic translation of this chapter: 2 Corinthians 2 1. However, because of the difficulties that I have had, I decided not to come to you. 2. For if I was to burden you, who would remain to lift up my spirit? Certainly not those whom I have burdened! 3. I have written this for you, so that when the difficult times come, I can trust you to make it easy for me to rejoice, because I receive joy from all of you. 4. It was with much sadness and distress in my heart that I wrote unto you through many tears, that you not be burdened by this. But the love that I have for you is now much more abundantly known unto you. 5. And though I brought grief unto you, I am not grieved, though partially; But not that I be overbearing unto you. (2 Corinthians 7:8-12 exposes the errant translation of these verses in most bibles and reaffirms the purpose of the first letter) 6. But it was necessary that the correction was brought in this way unto the majority. (1 Corinthians 1:11) 7. Now, in their presence, you should bring graciousness and comfort to those that are weak, that sadness not overtake them. 8. Therefore, I instruct you to confirm your love unto them. (third person plural - the congregation) 9. For this is the reason that I wrote (the first letter) unto you, that you would have the knowledge to prove yourselves, so you could be obedient in everything, 10. and that some of you might become hot. (Revelation 3:15) I wrote that you not make worthless his grace! (G-2756 + G-5483 + G-3105) You must avoid making his grace worthless; Do this by remaining in the presence of Christ, that you are not overtaken by Satan. (Matthew 15:9; 2 Corinthians 6:1) 11. For we are not ignorant of his ways. (1 John 3:3) 12. However a door was opened unto me by the Lord, so I went to Troas with the gospel of Jesus Christ. (Acts 16:9) 13. But while there, I could not find rest in my spirit, nor could I find Titus, so I went to Macedonia. 14. Thanks be unto God that he leads us to victory in Christ, and the residue of his knowledge has been revealed through us, everywhere. 15. We have become a sweet-smelling fragrance unto God. Christ is in all who are actively being saved. 16. But for those that are perishing, they smell of death and they shall receive death; Yet for those of you who have the fragrance of life, you will go unto eternal life. But who has not comprehended these things? 17. Though there are not as many of us as there are of those who are corrupting the instructions of God, we announce Christ and sincerely live in the ways of God, while in the sight of God

That is NOT of yourself is so clear that whole salvation is NOT of you.. In any similar sentence :"THAT" would be in regards to whole previous explanation of salvation.. I went to the school today and THAT is not because of my dog Rex... Does that mean Rex gave me a ride to school?.. Nooo.. But you would need to be a fool to make that word gymnastic just to be opposed to the Word of God.

"For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ." Galatians 1:12 "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day. ”It is written in the prophets, And they shall be all taught of God. Every man therefore that hath heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me.“ John 6:44-45 "That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God." 1 Corinthians 2:5 "For our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance..." 1 Thessalonians 1:5 "But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and YE NEED NOT THAT ANY MAN TEACH YOU: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him." 1 John 2:27 "And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end:" Hebrews 6:11

When Paul wrote to the Ephesians, Christ was back in heaven yet Paul, as all the other apostles recognised the 'Father's' SUPERIOUR position even in heaven to the Christ thats why he said TWICE in this letter "Blessed be the God and Father OF our Lord Jesus Christ" and "The the God OF our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory..Eph 1:3.17. So Paul acknowledged "There is ONE GOD THE FATHER OF ALL" (Eph 4:6). There was NO concept or teaching of the later 'trinity' only conceived by religious philospophers & theologians in the 3rd century!

Here is the correct meaning. Down at Ain Feshkha, the 'farm',the pastors/shepherds were meeting for the equinox. The 'Angel of the Lord' (Simon the Essene/ Simeon the Abiathar Gabriel priest) came to them & announced the new regime & that the 12 year old Jesus w.ould continue the succession. The ministers sang a hymn of praise, & declared the new policy 'peace on earth'.

The church began on the day of Pentecost after God poured out his Spirit the 120 disciples were filled with the holy ghost and began to speak in tongues as the spirit gave them utterance Acts 2:1--4. Then Peter said unto them repent and be baptized everyone of you in the of Jesus christ for the remission of sin and you shall receive the gift of the holy ghost. The disciples went everywhere teaching and preaching the gospel baptizing all in Jesus ñame

The antecedent is on the spiritual blessings for (whosoever) is already "in Him": adoption, to be holy and blameless in his sight. People misunderstand the "chosing" referring to salvation. The passage isn't referring to God's chosing individuals, but before the foundations of the world God pre-determined God's redemptive plan for "whosoever would believe in Him" (w=hether Jew or Gentile - mystery of the Gospel. The Jews felt they alone were the "Elect" - Pauls message was that God had planned for Gentiles to be a part of this inheritance (before the foundation of the world). Rom 1:16; Romans 11:24-26; Romans 16:24-26

Indeed salvation is not the repayment of one's good work. However, the good works are the evidence of salvation. The Spirit of God fulfilling the promise through those chosen by God. Meaning this passage is meant to warn Christians to examine themselves and their. For the deeds of many will reveal that they NEVER knew Jesus, those who practice lawlessness leading to death.While the deeds of the one who has been granted to believe, will reveal that they were born of God and the Spirit is indeed within them, leading to salvation. Theses deeds that are brought about and wrought by God. So the judgement is the one ending in salvation or damnation
