English “plainness of speech” in 2Corinthians 3:12 was translated from Greek feminine noun 3954 parresia which better reflects God’s definition as “boldness” in the context of Ephesians 3:11-19 and the faith of God’s “seven thousand” “election” is subsequent to and commensurate with God’s faith in them. The faith of human beings in God, if not in the context of the preceding sentence, is of no consequence to God.
The most harmful lie instigated and perpetuated by the world’s 4,351 religions is that reception and retention of God’s Spirit is a “gift” when in fact the retention of God’s Spirit is predicated upon the King James Bible’s 1,595 ifs.
