Neville Goddard on 2 Corinthians 1:13-14 - Mystical Bible Interpretation

Read 2 Corinthians 1 in context

Scripture Focus

13For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;

14As also ye have acknowledged us in part, that we are your rejoicing, even as ye also are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

2 Corinthians 1:13-14

Biblical Context

Paul says he writes only what you read and acknowledge, trusting you’ll hold to it till the end; you have acknowledged us in part, and therefore we are your rejoicing as you too are ours in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Neville's Inner Vision

Paul is not recounting distant history but inviting you to awaken within. The ‘we’ and the ‘you’ are states of consciousness, and the only truth he writes is what you already acknowledge in the I AM. When he says you shall acknowledge to the end, he is urging you to persevere in the inner recognition that you and your fellow expressions of life are one—rejoicing together in the Lord Jesus, the Christ within. The fellowship Paul praises is the inner fellowship of awareness, not a score of outward deeds; as you acknowledge us in part, you are acknowledging your own unity with God and with every form of love in your life. In that moment, you cease feeling separated by lack and begin to feel the day of the Lord Jesus—the dawning of full realization in which the inner ruler of your mind is joyfully aware of itself. So the “we are your rejoicing” becomes your experience: you are the rejoicing, and your brothers and sisters are yours, in the eternal now.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume the feeling that you and others are already rejoicing in the Lord Jesus within you. Silently declare, I acknowledge the inner unity of all in Christ within me, and I feel this now.
