Central Idea: Having unraveled all his opponents' categories of boasting (v.22-29), Paul explicitly states that if he must boast he will boast in that which shows his weaknesses. His first and prime example is his humiliating escape from Damascus. Explanations / Questions: Question: What purpose does the 'qualifier,' "God knows I'm not lying..." serve? Is this event so incredulous to Paul (or his readers) that it might be dismissed as untrue?
