Articles, Bible studies, and sermons that contain The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians 11:3:
II Corinthians 11:3
Excerpted from: Does Doctrine Really Matter? (Part Six)The key word in this verse for the purpose of this sermon is "simplicity." The Greek word literally means "singleness." It means "direct." Perhaps you can understand it better if I give you antonyms. The antonyms for this word are "crafty," "twisted," "deceitful," or "wandering." God's word means what it says, and He says what He means.
Zodhiates says the word "simplicity" in this verse indicates "frankness." There is the "direct" part. It indicates frankness, and we are to then conclude that God's word is not full of double meanings and ulterior motives. He is not trying to hide things from His children by deliberately making things hard. He does indeed make us search and dig for information, because the evidence may be virtually anywhere in the book, but the verses themselves are not convoluted. Things are hidden from the world, but God's purpose for us is to reveal by His spirit.
