Truthful in speech

Truthful in speech – 1 Cor 6:7-8

Vs 7 – Paul continues his discourse.  They had tried to be truthful in speech.  Their message was one of simplicity and truth.  They walked in the weapons of righteousness on their left and right hand.  In Hebrew thought the right hand represented power and the left hand represented compassion.  Paul wanted to wield righteousness with power and compassion.

Vs 8 – Paul continues his thought process here.  Through glory and dishonor he would follow the Lord.  His course was set.  He knew this is a reality for the Christian.  At times people will appreciate you and other times despise you.  In good and bad reports the Lord will keep your reputation and character.  People will think what they think about you and will report what they think.  Genuine times and others when people will think you are an imposter.  Every ministry will come under scrutiny and how we live and react will determine the outcome
