2 Corinthians 3:5 • 1 min. read • grade level: 5

2CO 3:5⁵Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; (2 Corinthians 3:5)

Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.

2 Cor. 3:5⁵Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; (2 Corinthians 3:5)

The word “sufficiency” means contentment. Are you disappointed in yourself? You’ll never be disappointed in God. We fall short in so many things. We didn’t do as well as we would have liked in a particular class at school. Look away from yourself. To look inward is to find disappointment and dissatisfaction. When we get our eyes and hearts on the Lord Jesus we forget ourselves and we see the contentment that we can have through Christ. There is no contentment outside of Him.
