Trials of Spirit, Pure Love
2 Corinthians 6:5-6 - A Neville Goddard interpretation
Read 2 Corinthians 6 in context
Scripture Focus
Biblical Context
Paul lists outward hardships and inner virtues. He shows true service rests on enduring trials while cultivating purity, knowledge, longsuffering, kindness, the Spirit, and sincere love.
Neville's Inner Vision
Here the speaker invites you to invert the apparent outwardness of circumstance: your stripes and imprisonments are inner states you inhabit as you awaken. In the theatre of consciousness, the lines by pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned become your operating principles. Purity sharpens your seeing of what you are; knowledge clarifies the reality you are conscious of; longsuffering steadies the will; kindness softens the heart toward all; the Holy Ghost is the living energy within you animating these states; love unfeigned is the natural expression of a Self that knows itself as one with all. When you understand that trials reflect your inner weather, you no longer fight them but revise your inner weather until your outer world mirrors the new state. Hold fast to the inner states you prefer, and the world will align to your assumption.
Practice This Now
Imaginative act: Assume the I AM is pure, knowledgeable, patient, kind, and guided by the inner Spirit; feel that you are living from that state now. If disturbance arises, revise to that state and let the feeling of realness flood your moment.
