After urging the Corinthians extensively on the topic of giving, the Apostle Paul abruptly changes course to a different matter. In 2 Corinthians Ch. 10 Paul turns the churches attention to the theme of apostolic authority. As his position in the body of Christ was being undermined, Paul felt the need to address it head on. In the last four chapters of his letter to the Corinthians, the Apostle outlines directly who he is, what God has called him to, and what he expects from the people he loves so dearly.
