How does Paul keep his own role in balance?

Back to Study the Book of Second Corinthians

He explains to the church in Corinth that he is not a lord over their faith; rather, he is working together with them for their joy. They are founded on Christ. Their foundation is their faith in Him.
To Paul alone, apparently, was given the explanation of the difference between the old covenant and the new covenant. To Paul alone was given the concept of the Body of Christ. These revelations were not entrusted to the other apostles as clearly as they were to Paul. Yet, Paul never lost sight of his own role as a servant of Christ.
Many saints who have been deceived into usurping the Glory of God for themselves were not given anywhere near the greatness of the role and authority that God gave to Paul. Paul was chosen carefully by the Lord for a level of responsibility in the Kingdom of God that has been assigned to few men in history. He did not fail the Lord by claiming glory for himself-a remarkable testimony!
