2 Corinthians 10:15 KJV
Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,
Paul desired to see the faith of the Corinthians increase. More, he expressed confidence that it would happen. This chapter suggests some things that would cause their faith to increase:
A bold ministry
vs 1-2
While Paul was endued with the meek and gentle qualities of Christ, He was also bold in his ministry. There is a way to be both and their is a time to exercise boldness even if we are accused of not being meek.
Mighty weapons
vs 3-4
Paul walked by faith and expressed that those weapons which belonged to those who walk in faith and not after the flesh are mighty.
Capturing imaginationsvs 5-6
People have all sorts of inventive ideas about what is Christian. Paul casting those imaginations down and force the mind to be obedient to Christ.
An enlarged vision
vs 15-16
Paul helped these believers see that there were those in regions beyond them still waiting to hear the message that Paul had already preached to them.
