IF WE ARE OUT OF OUR MIND / 2 CORINTHIANS 5:13

(KJV) 2 Corinthians 5:13

For whether we be beside ourselves, it is to God: or whether we be sober, it is for your cause.

It is likely that those who opposed Paul’s work and challenged his authority in the church had accused him of exaggerating or even being insane when he testified of such things as his encounter with Christ (Acts 9) or the terrible hardships that he had endured. Even at the possibility of people thinking he was crazy; Paul did not deny or renounce any of his testimony. In fact, he joyfully endured everything as a necessary part of fulfilling the cause of Christ. Yet, there was nothing outrageous about his ministry and message to the Corinthians. He had been completely sober-minded and plain-spoken to them, and he had avoided any hint of sensationalism or exaggeration (1 Corinthians 2:1-5; 1 Corinthians 2:1; 1 Corinthians 2:4).
