Live or Die - We Are In This Together

The apostle Paul faced a personal attack on his character by those in the church at Corinth who were intent on undermining confidence in him in their effort to thwart the ministry of the Gospel. Being forced to defend himself he reminded them of his sincerity and honesty in his ministry to them, in both his character and conduct, challenging them to respond in kind. As their spiritual father he had loved them and taught them only truth from God. Those who are genuine believers are exhorted to work through, and work out the differences for the welfare of the ministry, come what may from the world and circumstances of the day.
