Paul's Ministry Defended

6 And we are ready to punish any disobedience, once your obedience has been confirmed. 7 Look at what is obvious. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should remind himself of this: Just as he belongs to Christ, so do we. 8 For if I boast some more about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for tearing you down, I am not ashamed.
