Here the apostle continues his discussion from the last chapter. There he condemns the false teachers who were corrupting the Word of God. He seems to imply that they were bringing false charges about him such as bragging about his achievements. He is not engaging in any boastful self-commendation. He has been given over for the Gospel to a hard life of service and suffering. There is always somebody promoting the counterfeit where truth is given. We can see this in the art world and banking with counterfeits in both places, art and money. Paul referred to these false teachers as “peddlers” of the Word of God (II Corinthians 2:17), “religious racketeers” who preyed on ignorant people. He rejected their devious methods of teaching the Bible (II Corinthians 4:2), and lastly, he despised their tendency to boast about their converts (II Corinthians 10:12–18).
