2 Corinthiansنموونە

Paul continues to fight for the trust of the Corinthians. Apparently, some of his opponents had claimed: Paul can only act tough in his letters—but when he is there in person, he seems weak and unimpressive. Paul contradicts this. He makes it clear: His strength comes not from human rhetoric or authority, but from God. He Himself is the one who tears down false structures of thought—not with human means, but through His Word and His Spirit.

Paul does not want to act in his own name. His goal is not self-promotion, but for Christ to be magnified. Therefore, he does not compare himself with others, but stays within the commission that God has given him.

For Reflection
Where do I try to fight with human means? Where can I trust God anew that He changes hearts?
