Monday
2 Corinthians 12:11
Paul felt he was acting like a fool, boasting as he did. He felt the Corinthians should be writing commendations for him, inasmuch as he was not inferior to the “super apostles,” even though he claimed nothing at all.
Tuesday
2 Corinthians 12:12
When Paul was with the Corinthians, he certainly gave them every proof that he was truly an apostle, sent by God Himself. For he patiently did many signs and wonders and miracles among them.
Wednesday
2 Corinthians 12:13
The only thing Paul didn’t do, which he did in the other churches, was to become a burden to them. He even sought their forgiveness for this wrong!
Thursday
2 Corinthians 12:14
Paul went to the Corinthians a third time, vowing not to be a burden to them. He didn’t want what they had; he wanted them. And anyway, he stated, little children don’t pay for their parents’ food. It’s the other way around; parents supply food for their children.
Friday
2 Corinthians 12:15
Paul stated he would gladly spend himself and all he had for the spiritual good of the Corinthians, even though it seemed that the more he loved them, the less they loved him.
