If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.
Look, maybe some people question whether I'm really an apostle, but you guys? You should have zero doubt. You're literally the proof of my calling, God used me to reach you, and that's my validation right there.
Sometimes the best proof of who you are is the lives you've touched along the way.
📚 Historical Context
Paul wrote his first letter to the Corinthians around AD 55 while in Ephesus, addressing various issues in a church he had founded during his second missionary journey. Some members of the Corinthian church were questioning his authority as an apostle, possibly influenced by false teachers or internal divisions. He defends his apostleship by pointing to the Corinthians themselves as living proof of his genuine calling from God.
