Truth, Weakness, and Perfection

2 Corinthians 13:8-9 - A Neville Goddard interpretation

Read 2 Corinthians 13 in context

Scripture Focus

8For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
9For we are glad, when we are weak, and ye are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
2 Corinthians 13:8-9

Biblical Context

Truth cannot be opposed; we align with it and work for it. We rejoice in weakness because it reveals strength in others and points toward perfection.

Neville's Inner Vision

To Neville, the words point to a law of consciousness: truth is not a distant rival but the very nature of the I AM within you. When he says we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth, he speaks of alignment: you cannot oppose a living principle by force; you can only surrender to it by choosing it as your reality. So the entire field of your life bends to whatever you assign as true in your inner world. If you feel weak, you are not crushed; you are the opening through which the stronger possibility enters. Your weakness is the faculty by which truth enters as action in the world, both in you and in others. When you hold the presence of truth, others become strong and your own paths toward perfection begin to appear. This perfection is not a finished prize but a present alignment: your inner knowing fully expressed in outward form. Remember, the only power is the power you give to the truth within you; resist it, and you resist yourself; embrace it, and you become it.

Practice This Now

Imaginative_act: Sit quietly and declare, 'I am the truth of my being; nothing opposes it, and I now live from that truth.' Then feel weakness dissolve as a stronger sense of reality takes its place.
