Paul ends his letter by reiterating his authority among them (chapter 10) and concern for their faithfulness to him in the face of fierce opposition from false apostles. He calls himself a “fool” for having to reluctantly boast of his qualifications and his suffering for Christ (chapter 11).
Paulo anamaliza waraka wake kwa kurudia kuwaambia mamlaka yake miongoni mwao (sura ya 10) na kujali kwa uaminifu wao kwake katika upinzani mkali kutoka kwa mitume wa uongo. Anajiita "mjinga" kwa ajili ya kutotaka kujivunia sifa zake na mateso yake kwa ajili ya Kristo (sura ya 11).
