Paul’s wildly different uses of the “T” word

SCARCASTIC THANKS. We can use the “T” word in a lot of different ways. Paul did. It’s in his letters, which ended up in the Holy Bible. Photo by Sebi Covaci, flickr, CC2 license.

OUT OF THANKSGIVING CURIOSITY, I went to the Casual English Bible and typed “thank” into the search bar.

Paul offered a nice assortment of uses of the word from which to choose, depending on your mood.

Angry

“Thank God I didn’t baptize any of you people, except for Crispus and Gaius.”
1 Corinthians 1:14

Not-so-Humble

“I speak in the heavenly language of tongues more than any of you. And I thank God for it.”
1 Corinthians 14:18

All in

“Whatever happens, go ahead and thank God. Remember this: God is in control of your life.”
1 Thessalonians 5:18

Happy

“Thank God, we win. We get to celebrate the victory over sin and death. And it’s all because of our leader, Jesus the Messiah!”
1 Corinthians 15:57

Speechless

“All I can say is ‘Thank you God.’ I have run out of words.”
2 Corinthians 9:15

Me, too.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating the holiday today. Thanks be to God. And peace be to you.
