We are meant to be who we are for the Lord, just as Paul was.
You are meant to be as Christ is, not Paul.

16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

3 Mine answer to them that do examine me is this,
3 That is my defense when people put me under examination.

These are my thoughts.
People are going to examine us as Christians, they are going to look for us to fall but our defense is grace and the Lord, we don’t have to be faultless because He is perfect and we have Him.
20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law;
20 To the Jews I became as a Jew, to win the Jews. To those who were under the law, I was as though under the law, to win those who were under the law.

The best marriage is serving the Lord together.
7 Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock?

Wycliffe Bible (WYC) 2001 by Terence P. Noble
These are my thoughts.
We are very accepted to receive blessings that are there.

When we work with often get from it, we are to work for the Lord and it will be a blessing to others but we will be blessed also.

KJC 9 For it is written in the law of Moses, You shall not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treads out the corn. Does God take care for oxen?

God does care about animals but we mean so much more to Him.

We are to not overpower people but to share the power of the Lord Jesus.
