"Why not rather be wronged?" (1 Cor 6:7b)
This verse goes completely against my grain. I’m an American. I have rights! And frankly, St. Paul doesn’t care.
What he cares about is that I am a citizen of heaven and heir with Christ. Therefore I am expected to imitate Christ
"Who, being in very nature God,He modeled for us, and demands of us, a sacrificial love that knows no limits. He said that our love for one another would be a testimony to the world of Him.
did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
but made himself nothing..."
So it would be better for us to allow a brother to harm us than for the lost around us to see the Church acting like everyone else who knows his rights.
