‏ 2 Corinthians 12:20-21

Summary for 2Cor 12:20-21: 12:20-21  a Paul feared encountering renewed rebellion and resistance during his upcoming visit, with the Corinthians relapsed into their old ways.

• and you won’t like my response: If Paul had to, he would deal sternly with flagrant sinners (cp. 1:23–2:17  b; 1 Cor 4:21  c).
12:21  d Paul fears that God will humble me in your presence—a reprise of the previous visit (2:1  e), when the Corinthians had rebuffed and humiliated Paul.

• The vices listed were among the Corinthians’ old sins (see 6:14–7:1  f; 1 Corinthians Book Introduction, “Setting”).
