11-13: 1) They said that he was crazy—why?
a) The claims he makes; b) The fanaticism to which he dedicates himself; 2) Paul defends: 1) God knows our motives are pure, v. 11; 2) Even if we are crazy, it’s all for you, vv.
12-13; 3) Genuine motive is the love of Christ, v. 14.

• Is this Paul’s love for Christ OR Christ’s love for Paul
• He is controlled by Christ’s love for him (demonstrated at the cross, v. 14b)
• His love for Christ flows out of Christ’s love for him, v. 15
Constrains
• Hemmed in—the idea of being without options (without choices)
• “Held him”—Luke 22:63
• Arrested by Christ’s love for us
• His death leaves no personal options

16-21
