2 Corinthians 1:13-14 For we write nothing else to you than what you read and understand, and I hope you will understand until the end; 14 just as you also partially did understand us, that we are your reason to be proud as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
Proud - Greek - to boast
We have an opportunity to contribute towards others’ rewards. This verse speaks of our being proud of one another at the judgment.
I can understand the apostolic position: ‘I will be rewarded for establishing these believers.’ However, here the mutual support means that the church is also a recipient of reward for the success of the apostolic mission.
We’re very connected. We actually share in the eternal rewards one another receives.
