Scripture focus

8. For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth. 9. For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, [even] your perfection. 10. Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction. 11. Finally, brethren, farewell. Be perfect, be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace shall be with you.

Commentary on 2 Corinthians 13:8

Theological / Devotional

The truth. That is, the truth as it is in Christ Jesus, the truth of salvation as set forth in the Word of God (John 1:14, 17; 8:32; Gal. 2:5, 14). Eternal truth abides unchanged irrespective of what men may do. The enemies of truth have always failed. If the Corinthians are devoted to the truth, they have nothing to fear, for truth makes men invincible. When men place themselves on the side of truth, God accepts responsibility for their security and eternal triumph.
