Paul addresses the accusations of false teachers who are attempting to discredit him. Surprisingly, Paul doesn't list his accolades and credentials but instead shares about the copious and intense suffering he has endured for his ministry. By doing so, Paul gives us a lesson on humility and also teaches us how to endure suffering well and allow it to draw us closer to God, because His power is most evident in the face of our weakness.
