The body of Paul was weak and sickly. But when he wrote letters, he sounded like a big, important man. The assembly at Corinth did not respect Paul as they should have. They considered themselves to be more important than Paul because Paul was not present. Paul had authority as an apostle of God. We should submit to the people that God has put into positions of authority. Do not consider yourself to be important. Just accept whatever responsibility the Lord allows you to have and do it for Jesus. Do not be proud of the abilities God has given to you. Speak of the great things that the Lord Jesus has done and give glory to Him.
