A Life That Can Be 'Read'
Many commentators explain that Paul is making a powerful point about integrity. When he writes of his sincerity, he's not just using words; he's appealing to his own life, which the Corinthians had observed. They could 'read' his character in his actions. His life was consistent with his message, providing a powerful defense against slander and a model for believers to live with transparency.
