The revelation that God has given to the apostles, the testimony of the Holy Spirit through Scripture itself, the testimony of the Holy Spirit in the heart of every follower of Christ, rational (sane) thought, scientific method, and any other measure other than the creative rationalizations (insane stories) of the skeptics, all confirm the historical, material, and spiritual accuracy of every part of Scripture from the very beginning of Genesis to the very end of Revelation.

1. Paul called by the will of God--blessings to the church and to God--Paul's trouble in Asia--Paul's desire to come to Corinth

6. don't receive the grace of God in vain--no cause for offense let the ministry (Christ in us) be blamed--avoid the unequal yoke, but be separate
