<p>11:15 <em>It is no great thing therefore if his servants also fashion themselves as servants of righteousness</em>- Servants or ministers of righteousness is a Jewish term, allusive to the priests. The Jewish satan or opposition to Paul's work had servants / ministers who appeared to be righteous people.&nbsp;Judaism presented the faithful as &quot;the righteous&quot; and the servants of righteousness were those who ministered to Judaist congregations. But they were in fact servants of what Paul terms 'the satan', his term as previously referenced for the Jewish opposition. And his later self-justification in this chapter implies that they presented themselves as true Jews of the seed of Abraham.&nbsp;</p><p><em>Whose end shall be according to their work- </em>The lazy servant was punished out of his own mouth (Lk. 19:22); and even in Job's time, this principle of Divine condemnation was known (Job 9:20; 15:6). The Judaizers too were to have an &quot;end that will correspond to their deeds&quot; (2 Cor. 11:14,15 RSV). Jewish theories of the time accept that God punished the Satan figure, but the demons got around the punishment and tempt men to sin&ndash; as if God somehow was outwitted in the supposed struggle. But here Paul says that these men will indeed be punished and will not get out of it. The <em>Apocalypse of Adam</em> likewise minimizes human sin by claiming that &lsquo;Satan&rsquo; in fact raped Eve, thus leading to the fall; the <em>Apocalypse of Moses</em> claims that because Satan appeared as such a dazzling, shining Angel, Eve was inevitably deceived by him. Paul here alludes to this idea&ndash; not that his allusion means that he supported the idea.</p>
