You want proof that Christ is speaking through me. My proof is that he is not weak in dealing with you but is showing his power among you.
It will not really be you speaking; the Spirit of your Father will be speaking through you.
When I was with you, I patiently did the things that prove I am an apostle—signs, wonders, and miracles.
I will give you the wisdom to say things that none of your enemies can answer.
The weapons we use are not human ones. Our weapons have power from God and can destroy the enemy’s strong places. We destroy people’s arguments,
If you forgive someone, then I also forgive them. And what I have forgiven—if I had anything to forgive—I forgave it for you, and Christ was with me.
The punishment that most of your group gave him is enough for him.
The woman is happier if she does not marry again. This is my opinion, and I believe that I have God’s Spirit.
And God can give you more blessings than you need, and you will always have plenty of everything. You will have enough to give to every good work.
I, Paul, am begging you with the gentleness and the kindness of Christ. Some say that I am bold when I am writing you from a distance, but not when I am there with you.
