2 Corinthians 10-11

In 2 Corinthians 10-11, Paul continues to defend his apostleship. Paul’s humility is a great example for us all, reminding the Corinthians how much he has suffered on their behalf. Paul says “I consider that I am not in the least inferior to these super-apostles. Even if I am unskilled in speaking, I am not so in knowledge; indeed, in every way we have made this plain to you in all things.” He wants the Corinthians to be sure they are not “led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ”, and does everything possible to share his vast knowledge to highlight the true gospel message.

It’s a great attitude that we can use when resolving conflicts or considering other members in the body of Christ. Rather than being proud of his many Pharisaical accomplishments, Paul says “If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness”
