2Cor053 Correcting Corruption

At 12:19 Paul transitions from defense to application and conclusion. As he concludes this letter he calls out the sin in Corinth. The roots of sin grounded in corrupt conceptions of power are confronted. Paul warns the Corinthians that if they don't repent that he is going to come in discipline. When that happens everyone in Corinth will know indeed that Christ speaks in him whether or not Paul himself bears the marks of Corinthian conceptions of power and authority.
