2 CORINTHIANS 5:11 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.”
Since, then, we know what it is to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience — fear (phobos) of the Lord motivates persuasion (peithō). Paul's integrity is plain to God; he appeals to the Corinthians' conscience as secondary witness. Authenticity cannot be hidden from divine scrutiny.
