Paul's Fatherly Love Imparts Wisdom and Identity

The Apostle Paul turns his attention away from trying to prove the authenticity of his apostleship to the Corinthian baby believers. He tries to convey the truth of his authentic love for them, and his great desire that they would be reconciled to himself, the other apostles and the true gospel of grace, so that they could live in and through their authentic identity in Christ and stop behaving like unbelievers.
