2 CORINTHIANS 1:24 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.”
Not that we lord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, because it is by faith you stand firm — Paul clarifies that apostolic authority is not tyrannical (ouk hoti kyrieouomen) but collaborative. The Corinthians' faith is theirs; Paul's role is facilitating the joy that flows from it. Authority serves faith, not dominion.
