For we write none other things unto you, than what ye read or acknowledge; and I trust ye shall acknowledge even to the end;
KJV, I assume? The RSV gives:
For we write you nothing but what you can read and understand; I hope you will understand fully,
This is a command from Jesus to write the Gospels? If anything it is an argument for a continuing apostlehood, a succession of apostolic authority, a magisterium. "we write you nothing but what you can read and understand" This can mean that there is much more to be taught but that it is not easy for all to "read and understand"
The apostle Paul was approved by the same apostles that were taught by Christ, meaning he had the same authority as they, and since they all represented Christ, it was the same as Christ himself saying it.
The apostle Paul was approved by the same apostles that were taught by Christ, therfore Paul had the same authority as they did? Are you sure you're not arguing for apostolic succession?

New American Standard 2 Corinthians 1:13 For we write nothing else to you than what you read and understand, and I hope you will understand until the end;
-- New Jerusalem with Apocrypha 2 Corinthians 1:13 In our writing, there is nothing that you cannot read clearly and understand;
-- New Revised Standard with Apocrypha 2 Corinthians 1:13 For we write you nothing other than what you can read and also understand; I hope you will understand until the end--
SD, I hope that was a joke. "there is nothing that you cannot read clearly and understand" Of course Paul had never met SD
