Paul's apologia

This chapter is devoted to Paul's apologia: "a defence of the Apostolic authority of St Paul".[2] Paul opens this section of his letter with four rhetorical questions:

  1. "Am I not an apostle?"
  2. "Am I not free?"[3]
  3. "Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord?"
  4. "Are you not my work in the Lord?"

He acknowledges that he may not be treated as apostle by others, but asserts that he is an apostle to the churches he has founded and the Corinthian church is the "seal of [his] apostleship in the Lord".[4] In Шаблон:Bibleverse he speaks of Шаблон:Lang-grc, "those investigating me, whether I am a true apostle".[5] "The word used here, Шаблон:Lang (Шаблон:Transliteration), is properly a forensic term, and is usually applied to judges in courts; to those who sit in judgment, and investigate and decide in litigated cases brought before them".[6] The "others" who do not recognise Paul as an apostle may have been emissaries from Jerusalem or the Petrine party,[7] those associated with the slogan "I am for Cephas" in 1 Corinthians 1:12,[8] or possibly "to some who may have arrived at Corinth subsequent to St. Paul's departure, and who, not recognising his Apostleship in relation to themselves, stirred up some of the Corinthians to repudiate it also".[9]

Verse 5

Шаблон:Quote

  • "A believing wife" (KJV: "a sister, a wife"): The phrase "a sister, a wife" is an Hebraism derived from "my sister, spouse", (Song of Solomon 4:9–10, 12; 5:1).[10][11] In Judaism men called their wives 'sisters' not on account of religion, which also is not the meaning here, but because of the common relation that men and women in all humankind stand in to one another, as that of man and wife.[12]

Verse 9

  • Cross reference: Deuteronomy 25:4[14]
