A series of four ironic statements draw attention to the Church’s penchant for entertaining error rather than mortifying sin. Everything Paul has said is to the church’s shame, yet it is not said to shame her but to admonish her. His love for this congregation is present in a pastoral call for imitation. Imitation of humility, suffering, steadfastness, and hope. We all are just regular folks called by God to submit to Christ and love one another. If Paul can do this, so can we.
