Paul puts his track record out there on being an Apostle.
It appears to me that this quick turn of topics is an answer to a question posed to Paul.
God requires accountability.
People do enjoy assuming the worst about those in authority.
God’s servants are accountable to God & their congregations. Wise leaders welcome this. If they are serving faithfully let them do what God has called them to do.
No doubt, some leaders/pastors/ministers abuse power and authority- and no one should be immune to accountability. But don’t assume that is the norm.
God help me be faithful to you and to love and serve those you have given me influence with as if I were serving Jesus himself.
