Old Testament |
2 Corinthians
This is the second letter written by the apostle Paul to the believers at Corinth. Often called "the hard letter", this is an intensely personal letter. It recounts the difficulties and hardships Paul had endured in the service of Christ (see chapters 10-13).
The Apostle regards the Corinthians as his children in Christ and deals with them by revealing a depth of personal responsibility and affection that a father would show to his son.
Much of the apostle Paul’s personal character is shown in this letter such as his spiritual strength, the deepest tenderness of affection, wounded feeling, sternness, irony, rebuke, impassioned self-vindication, humility, a just self-respect and a zeal for the welfare of the weak and suffering, as well as for the progress of God’s word amongst the Corinthian believers.
