2 Corinthians 6:11-13
11 O Corinthians! We have spoken openly to you, our heart is wide open. 12 You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections. 13 Now in return for the same (I speak as to children), you also be open.

Being sincere means not holding back truth, even when painful, disagreeable, or emotionally charged. Here Paul challenged the Corinthians and us to look past our feelings to see what matters as a child needs a respected parent. We need to be open to the truth as well as to tell the truth to build each other up, not hiding behind hurt or anything else. We fellowship and minister openly and sincerely, or we miss much God has for us and His kingdom.
