1) In 2 Corinthians 10:13, Paul discusses the concept of boasting. However, he is not referring to superiority over others but rather boasting within an appropriate context. Boasting can be positive when it is linked to the recognition that God is the source of grace and victory. Paul also emphasizes that God assigns this.

2) Paul refers to his sphere of influence, explaining to the church at Corinth that it extends to them as well. He assures them that he is not overstepping his boundaries by engaging with them, challenging them, and correcting them. This is because they are part of his life, his relationships, his connections, and his circles. He has the right to speak the truth to them, whether it’s pleasant or unpleasant.

3) Prayers are offered for people who are struggling with cancer.
