NT – How to treat people

HOW PAUL TREATED PEOPLE

1 Co 4:13 “Being defamed we entreat, we are as the filth of the world and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.”

1 Co 4:12 “And labor, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless, being persecuted, we suffer it.”

Being reviled, being railed against, being abused Paul blessed. Being persecuted, Paul held himself upright… Paul endured. Being defamed, spoken ill of… Paul called near to comfort.

Pauls attitude is/was incredible.

AS GOD DISTRIBUTES OR GIVES THE INCREASE, GOD ALSO HATH CALLED EACH PERSON TO THEIR WALK

1 Co 7:17 “But as God hath distributed to every man, as the Lord hate called every one, so let him walk. And so ordain (appoint) I in all churches.”

God gives the increase and in the increase and on the same hand, it is God who calls each and every one of us… (insert verse on him calling prophets and evangelists.. etc) for the fulfillment of the body; his church. And just like it’s not your decision on what God gives you (the increase spoken of in 1 Co 3:7) it’s also not your decision how God calls you to walk. God works with every person differently, therefore, do not judge the walk God has called for his servants (or those who follow his son) because it’s God who chose it.
