But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
But I'm confident that you'll realize we're not frauds or failures, we're the real deal.
Paul's basically saying 'you'll see that we actually passed the test.'
📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, the Apostle Paul wrote his second letter to the Corinthians to address ongoing conflicts, false teachings, and challenges to his authority from within the church. He was preparing for a third visit and urging the believers to examine themselves spiritually, as some were questioning whether Paul and his companions were truly approved by God. In this verse, Paul expresses confidence that the Corinthians would recognize him and his team as genuine apostles, not as reprobates or unworthy servants.
