“Yes, he abuses me, but you know, the Bible says I must bear all things” -
“There are many signs that he is cheating and exposing me to HIV, but he says that he is faithful and I should believe all thing in love.” -
And even:
“My father/pastor/teacher rapes me, but my family says that I should just endure it and not bring disgrace on our family/church/school.” -
This can never be the message that Paul wanted to send to the Corinthians or to those of us who read this today!
