Gen Z: 2 Corinthians 12
1No cap, I ain't tryna flex too hard. I'm just here for the vibes and revelations from the Lord.
2So, like, I knew this dude in Christ way back, over 14 years ago, (whether it was in the body or not, who even knows? God knows, fr) and he got caught up to the third heaven.
3I knew this guy, (whether in the body or out, still sus, God knows;)
4He got taken to paradise and heard some wild words that ain't even legal to say, periodt.
5I'm gonna flex about him, but I won't flex about myself, just my struggles, ya feel?
6Even if I wanna flex, I won’t be a fool; I’m just keeping it real: I don’t want y’all thinking I’m more than what you see or hear.
7And to keep me humble with all these revelations, I got a thorn in my flesh, a total savage move from Satan to keep me grounded.
8I hit up the Lord three times asking for it to leave me alone.
9And He told me, "My grace is enough for you: my strength is lit in your weakness. So, I’m gonna flex my struggles so Christ’s power can chill with me."
10So, I vibe with my struggles, the hate, the needs, the persecution, and the stress for Christ’s sake: 'cause when I’m weak, that’s when I’m actually strong.
11I lowkey look like a fool flexing; y’all made me do it: I should’ve been praised by you guys, for real, I’m not lacking compared to the top apostles, even if I’m nothing.
12For real, the signs of an apostle popped off among you with patience, signs, wonders, and major moves.
13What’s the tea? How were you lacking compared to other churches, except I didn’t wanna be a burden? Forgive me for that.
14Yo, I’m ready to roll up again, and I won’t be a burden: I’m not here for your stuff, but for you: kids shouldn’t stash for parents, but parents for kids.
15I’m down to spend all my energy for you; even if I love you more, I feel less loved back, no cap.
16But fr, I didn’t put a load on you: still, being crafty, I caught you slipping.
17Did I profit off you through anyone I sent?
18I sent Titus and a bro with him. Did Titus profit off you? We didn’t vibe in the same spirit? We didn’t walk the same path?
19Again, do you think we gotta explain ourselves to you? We’re speaking to God in Christ: but we do everything, beloved, for your growth.
20I’m kinda scared, 'cause when I roll up, I might not find you how I want and end up being someone you don’t wanna see: gotta avoid drama, envy, anger, fights, gossip, and chaos.
21And I’m worried that when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and I’ll be sad for the ones who’ve sinned and haven’t repented of their mess.
