Paul wants the Corinthians to see that his hardships prove his true commitment to Jesus, unlike the false apostles who only want to look important. v. 22 : Paul says that he is just as much a Jew as the false apostles. He is a Hebrew, an Israelite, and a descendant of Abraham. He shares the same heritage as those who are trying to discredit him ( Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I.
