Humility Abused

A further reason why the Corinthians should bear with the apostle's self-glorying:

1. He was qualified as much as any apostle v5.
2. He was qualified in knowledge v6.
3. He was qualified not disqualified by humility v7-10.
4. He was qualified in motive v11,12.

We learn from these verses the malicious conduct of the enemies of Christ who will always find some cause
(however unjust) to accuse the godly.
We must love Christ supremely if we are to have the apostle's spirit of self-sacrifice in the cause of Christ.
