The Signs Of An Apostle

1. An inexcusable silence v11.
   The duty of speaking to defend a just cause - The apostle forced to a course of self-vindication.

2. The signs of an apostle themselves v12.
   The invariable connection between miraculous gifts and infallible revelation, Deut 34:10-12; 1 Kings 17:24; 18:36; Ps 74:9 - Miracles authenticated the truth given at the time, John 20:30,31 - Rome and the charismatic movement and the damage done by allowing for miraculous gifts today - What are the signs of an apostle if not the miracle working gifts?

3. No short change v13.
   The apostles' use of irony.
