I should have been endorsed by you, since I am not in any way inferior to the “super-apostles,” even though I am nothing. 12 The signs of an apostle were performed with great endurance among you—not only signs but also wonders and miracles.
(2 Cor 12:11)
In context Paul is writing a letter to the church at Corinth and he is trying to persuade them on various topics. So if he wants to retain credibility, how can he claim that there signs and wonders and miracles occurring among these people? If this were not true then his entire letter would have been dismissed as a lie. Can you think of a way this letter could have become accepted and get into circulation if it contained a lie that the readers could have easily refuted?
