A problem with academia is the promise of the sure result, is not matched with the truth, that every result must be continuously defended. And ancient Greece was the home of academia. Paul went to Corinth and shared his life as a Christian. And Paul returned. Frustrated. Hurt. Explaining again and again what he had meant as Corinthians split hairs.
But the result is a pure distillation of Paul’s message. This chapter begins with this verse. The missing one from the quote is the second, which reads "By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain." Paul is not doubting his message, but highlighting the firmness of his position.
