2 Corinthians 10:6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

McClaren observed well, “There was in the Corinthian Church a party, probably Judaisers, which denied his authority and said bitter things about his character. They apparently had contrasted the force of his letters and the feebleness of his ‘bodily presence’ and speech. They insinuated that his ‘bark was worse than his bite.’ Their language put into plain English would be something like this, ‘Ah! He is very bold at a distance, let him come and face us and we shall see a difference. Vapouring in his letters, he will be meek enough when he is here.'”

God will enable the Apostle Paul to declare the truth and refute the falsehoods against the gospel in the church of Corinth. The Apostle Paul first ought the Corinthian church to be in obedience to the truth.

Recall the time when the Syrians opposed the ministry of Elisha because he warned the king of Israel of the ambush of the enemy. The Syrians came to besieged the city of Dothan which Elisha dwelled. They sought to bring him to God’s prophet.
