11:5For I consider myself not at all inferior to those “super-apostles.”13

Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 13 The implicit irony in Paul’s remark is brought out well by the : “I do not think that I am the least bit inferior to those very special so-called ‘apostles’ of yours!” The ‘super-apostles’ refers either (1) to the original apostles (the older interpretation) or (2) more probably, to Paul’s opponents in Corinth, in which case the designation is ironic.
