8For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.

2 Corinthians 13:7-8

Biblical Context

Paul prays they do no evil, not to gain approval, but to live honestly. He reminds them that one cannot act against the truth, only in service of it.

Neville's Inner Vision

From the Neville lens, this is a call to align your inner conviction with outer choice. The we are states of consciousness, not separate selves; to do what is honest is to choose the truth you already are. When you act from honest inner imagining, appearances may tremble, but truth remains invincible. The insistence on not seeking approval reveals that your inner I AM is the sovereign fact, and truth is not a casualty of reputation. If you dwell in the feeling that you are the truth in motion, you are not fighting external tests; you are reinforcing the inner state that makes honest action inevitable. Your imagination is the architect of reality; by choosing honesty as the rule of your inner life, truth flows into your world, regardless of outward judgment. The phrase that we can do nothing against the truth but for the truth invites you to trust your own inner alignment as the source of courage and integrity.

Practice This Now

Close your eyes and assume you are already acting with perfect honesty in the current situation; imagine the scene aligned with truth, regardless of appearances. Feel the truth as your own and let honest action become inevitable.
