The Corinthians criticized Paul for changing his travel plans and not visiting them as he said he would. Paul makes it clear – and he calls God as his witness and stakes his life on it – that it was in order to spare them that he did not return to Corinth. Paul insists that his interactions with the Corinthians were based on godly wisdom and grace. In understanding how Paul conducts himself with the Corinthians, particularly in terms of how he responds to their criticism of him, we learn how we should conduct ourselves with all people.
