2 Corinthians 6:8; As Deceivers and Yet True
2 Corinthians 6:8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
The Apostle Paul is considered a fake to some, a deceiver or impostor to many and yet, as William MacDonald observed, “he is true for all that. He is no impostor, but a genuine servant of the Most High God.”
Our Lord Jesus Himself was called a deceiver in Matthew 27:63 “Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again.” Jesus’ tomb was made doubly secure to ensure no foul play Matthew 27:64 “Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.” Yet Jesus truly rose from the dead!
