How do we know the Apostle Paul's ministry was genuine?

Answered in 1 source

The authenticity of Paul's ministry is evidenced by the signs of an apostle, his patience, and the revelation of Christ in his preaching.

Paul asserts that he was not inferior to the chief apostles, as evidenced by the signs, wonders, and miracles he performed among them. However, the greatest proof of his apostolic authority was not just the miracles but also the way Christ was revealed to the Corinthians through his preaching. His patience in enduring hardships and teaching the truth of the Gospel demonstrated his commitment and authenticity. The Corinthians were expected to recognize these qualities as evidence of genuine ministry, thereby defending Paul against false accusations made by rival ministers.
