Has anyone here ever received discernment from the Lord regarding 1 Thes 2:8?
1 Thes 2:8
8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we were willing to have imparted unto you, not the gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because ye were dear unto us.
How can we impart our own souls into the lives of other believers? That is, our mind, will, and emotions? Is this verse to be taken literally? Or is this verse only speaking figuratively? Is it like when scripture says Jonathan and David had their soul's knit together...as in a godly soul tie that edifies one another?
What are your thoughts? Can anyone think of similar verses that might be relevant or helpful to better understand the intended meaning?
