Boasting in Weakness

Paul loved the Corinthians very much. He wanted them to stay true to Jesus. Some teachers came and taught a different Jesus. Paul said they were false teachers.

Paul taught the Corinthians for free. Then he told about his hard times. He worked hard. He was in danger in cities, in the wild, and at sea. He was often hungry, thirsty, and cold. He also worried about all the churches every day.

Paul did not brag about being strong. He wrote, If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness. Once, he escaped from the city of Damascus in a basket let down from a window in the wall.
