2 Corinthians 10

Paul defends his apostolic authority and ministry to the Corinthians, asserting that his power lies not in carnal weapons but in spiritual authority given by Christos for building up the church.[1][3] He addresses critics who questioned his credentials, emphasizing that his authority extends to Corinth where he first preached the gospel, and he refuses to boast beyond his proper sphere of ministry or take credit for others' work.[3][6]
