January 21
Introduction
In today’s reading, Paul warns the Corinthians against pagan influences and encourages them to live in awe of God.
Scripture Reading
2 Corinthians 6:14—7:1
Today’s Key Verse: 2 Corinthians 7:1b
Let us purify ourselves from everything that makes body or soul unclean, and let us be completely holy by living in awe of God.
Reflect
In today’s reading, Paul poses a series of questions to emphasize the need for the Corinthian believers to avoid any corrupting influences of the Gentile world. What questions does he pose? To reinforce his argument, Paul again quotes from the Hebrew Scriptures (Leviticus 26:11-12; Ezekiel 37:27; Isaiah 52:11; 2 Samuel 7:14). What are your thoughts about the relevance of Paul’s argument for life today? What does it mean to you when Paul says, “we are the temple of the living God” (verse 16)?
Pray
Holy God, when faced with temptation, empower me with weapons of the Spirit and help me resist all that is evil. Purify me from everything that would make my body or soul unclean so I may live a holy life and be in awe of you. Amen.
Tomorrow’s Reading
2 Corinthians 7:2-16: What Paul hears about the church in Corinth cheers him up.
