WE WILL ALWAYS FIND dynamic tension in scripture. Consider the authoritative command that “Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor.” (Gal. 6:6) with the gentler tone of, “As apostles of Christ we could have been a burden to you, but we were gentle among you, like a mother caring for her little children. Surely you remember, brothers, our toil and hardship; we worked night and day in order not to be a burden to anyone while we preached the gospel of God to you.” (1 Thess. 2:6b, 9)
