Central Idea: Paul, finally ready to meet boasting with boasting, makes an ironical appeal: "You've put with the others' foolishness, put up with mine." He doesn't waste the irony though and points out how the others have abused and wounded the Corinthians by their criminal foolishness. Explanations / Questions: v.16-21, This whole arc is a progression toward v.22ff in which Paul actually begins his 'boasting.' Insights: This whole passage oozes with irony and sarcasm, and yet even here the contrast between Paul and his opponents is highlighted. v.20-21a, Abusive authority figures are exceedingly dangerous for those under them are deceived into believing the superior status of the leader and, in some warped way, the correctness of the abusive behavior. This passage, maybe more than any other, explains why Paul will go to any length to win back the heart of this church. And yet the bite of the sarcasm is directed at the believers.It is they who have so 'wisely' accepted the arrogance of the false apostles - buying into and adopting that arrogance themselves toward Paul.
