Paul was so concerned about his brethren that if would have become accursed if they would come to faith. He continues ...read more

"i Speak As To Children"

Contributed by Kyle Campbell on Aug 15, 2022

An example of this would be in Ephesians 5:22-32 where Paul teaches about the relationship of husbands and wives, which he likens to Christ and the church. A similar passage is in 2 Corinthians 6:11-18 where Paul makes ...read more
