Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech:
Since we have this incredible hope, we're not going to beat around the bush, we're speaking straight up and being completely real with you.
When you have real hope, you don't need to hide behind fancy words or play games, you just tell the truth.
📚 Historical Context
In the context of 2 Corinthians, the Apostle Paul is writing to the church in Corinth to defend his ministry and contrast the old covenant of the Law, which was marked by veiled glory, with the new covenant in Christ, which brings freedom and hope. Paul emphasizes that this hope allows believers to communicate openly and without the restrictions that characterized the earlier covenant. This letter likely addresses challenges from false teachers who questioned Paul's authority, making his bold speech a demonstration of confidence in the gospel.
