They attack those you have wounded. They talk about the pain of those you have hurt.

So because of God’s mercy, we have work to do. He has given it to us. And we don’t give up.Instead, we have given up doing secret and shameful things. We don’t twist God’s word. In fact, we do just the opposite. We present the truth plainly. In the sight of God, we make our appeal to everyone’s sense of what is right and wrong.

If you and I changed places, I could say the same things you are saying. I could make fine speeches against you. I could shake my head at you.

It is right for me to feel this way about all of you. I love you with all my heart. I may be held by chains, or I may be standing up for the truth of the good news. Either way, all of you share in God’s grace together with me.

“ A person shouldn’t stop being kind to a friend. Anyone who does that stops showing respect for the Mighty One.

Unlike many people, we aren’t selling God’s word to make money. In fact, it is just the opposite. Because of Christ we speak honestly before God. We speak like people God has sent.
