2 Corinthians 10:14 (KJV)

What does 2 Corinthians 10:14 mean?

2 Corinthians 10:14 means that Paul and his companions are not overstepping their rightful boundaries or claiming credit for work they did not do, especially regarding their ministry to the Corinthians. Paul is saying that he and his team have genuinely reached the Corinthians with the message about Christ, so their involvement is legitimate.

Paul is writing to the church in Corinth, addressing concerns about his authority and the scope of his ministry. Some critics in Corinth questioned whether Paul had the right to speak into their lives. Here, Paul explains that he is not boasting beyond his proper limits, because he was the one who first brought the gospel to them, making his relationship with them authentic and appropriate.
