And now for part two.

For out of much affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote unto you with many tears.

So he's talking about the writing of that letter.

Not that you should be grieved, but that you might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.

That's fun.

Now, you might not, someone might not read First Corinthians and see Paul's love in there,

but apparently from Paul's perspective, he wrote it with much love.

And we get this all over the place in scriptures, whom God loves he chastens, right?

And we know as parents that that's true.

You have those hard conversations where you said we don't like having because you love them.

And that's exactly why you do it. If it's someone that I don't care about, then I'm just not going to take the time.

It's too uncomfortable. But that's demonstrated in what Paul just said. Well, and then with that,

we can now take it from a larger perspective and realize 2 Corinthians,

if it in fact is in written response to 1st Corinthians, he's now explaining why he was

maybe so harsh in the first letter and pointing out that it's because he loves them,

which now takes us to the great priesthood principle that's reflected in Doctrine Convance,

121. But 121 describes how you engage in

priesthood leadership, which I think is useful information for male, female, anyone within this

priesthood structure that we have as a church. Yeah, it doesn't matter if you hold the priesthood. It matters

that if you're in a family or if you've been part of a priesthood covenant and you're

part of a covenant community then.

Yep.
