2 Corinthians 10-13

If we are to boast how are we to do it?


Let us boast in the Lord. For, it is the Lord who makes us commendable, not any of the works we might do.


Who can be disguised as an angel of light? Ministers of righteousness?


Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. And satan’s servants masquerade as servants (ministers) of righteousness.

Why was he given a 'thorn in the flesh?' How was it overcome? Why is Paul willing to boast of his weakness?


Paul was given a thorn in the flesh to keep him from being conceited. It never left even though he prayed to God for healing. However, it was overcome by God’s grace. Paul boasts of his weakness so that the power of God might rest upon him. For, in Christ when Paul is weak he is strong!

For what reason does Paul call us to examine ourselves? Who is in us?


We are to examine ourselves to see whether we re in the faith or not. Christ Jesus is in us.
