Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Corinthians 10:1-18

A. Replies to charges made against Paul 10:1-18Paul responded to charges of cowardice, weakness, and intrusion that one or more critics in Corinth had evidently leveled against him. Failure to submit to apostolic authority could have dangerous consequences, such as disregarding his inspired writings. It was to spare his beloved readers from these ill effects that Paul wrote as he did, not out of a carnal sense of wounded pride. read more
