In the end, however, he concluded that it was better to boast of his weaknesses. He continues where he left off, telling the church that the Lord gave him a “thorn in the flesh… a messenger of Satan to torment me so that I would not exalt myself.” It is when we are weak in the flesh, that we can be strong in Christ. He concludes this line of thinking by assuring the church that everything he has said was for building up the church and not as a defense. Finally, he ends with exhortations to test yourself to see if you are in the faith, and to rejoice.","meta_description":"In our last episode, Paul boasted about his works in order to show the church at Corinth that if boasting were a contest, he would win against his so-call…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":532,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/commuter-bible-nt-2656159/episodes/2-corinthians-12-13/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/commuter-bible-nt-2656159/2-corinthians-12-13.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
