Critics of Paul in Corinth

Paul's critics/opponents in Corinth commended themselves and denigrated Paul according to their:
  1. commanding presence (2 Cor 10:1, 10).
  2. concrete displays of power and authority (2 Cor 11:19-20).
  3. impressive speech (2 Cor 11:20-21).
  4. worthiness to accept full compensation (2 Cor 11:7-11).
  5. Jewish pedigree (2 Cor 11:21b-22)).
  6. endurance of hardships (2 Cor 11:23-29).
  7. mystical visions (2 Cor 12:1-6).
