2 Corinthians 13:7 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

I'm praying to God that you don't mess up — and honestly, it's not because I want to look good or prove I'm right about you. I want you to do what's right even if it makes me look like I failed as your leader.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Sometimes loving someone means wanting them to succeed even when it doesn't make you look good.
