As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, nobody in the regions of Achaia will stop this boasting of mine.
As surely as the truth of Christ is in me
Romans 9:1 I speak the truth in Christ--I am not lying, my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit--...
nobody in the regions of Achaia
Acts 18:12-13 While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews of Corinth made a united attack on Paul and brought him to the place of judgment. "This man," they charged is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law."
will stop this boasting of mine
1 Corinthians 9:15-18 But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this in the hope that you will do such things for me, for I would rather die than allow anyone to deprive me of this boast. For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me. What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge and so not make full use of my rights as a preacher of the gospel.
