“Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you, or letters of commendation from you?”
Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you? — Paul addresses the demand for credentials. 'Letters of recommendation' (sustatikai epistolai) were common in antiquity; some at Corinth apparently demanded them. Paul's defensive tone suggests rivals produced such credentials.
