Clearly Paul has his critics in Corinth, and he's back to defending himself. It must have been a tough line to walk: imitating Christ, trying to take leadership, showing authority, and trying to remain humble. Paul must have had his failures. Still, he remained their pastor, so he couldn't cut them loose. He needed to keep their trust, because the body of Christ must function as one.
