2 Corinthians 6:6 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,

The Apostle Paul’s preaching and teaching were divinely endowed, enabling him to pen the larger part of the New Testament Scriptures. He shared the Source of his knowledge when he revealed in 1 Corinthians 2:12-16 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. What privilege it is to be endowed with the wisdom of God that enabled him to understand the eternal things of God!

The Apostle Paul, in the work of the gospel, exemplifies a quality of behaviour that is morally clean – purity, sincerity, blamelessness. [Friberg Lexicon] He understood well our Lord Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. He sought to live a life of holiness understanding that he is a sinner saved by grace. He understood our Lord Jesus’ words in Matthew 5:3-4 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Without making right with God, he has no strength to stand before men.
