2 Corinthians

It’s Round 2 of Paul’s exchange of letters with the church he founded in Corinth. In Round 1, Paul came out swinging on the puffed-up ‘spirituality’ of the Corinthians in contrast to their manifest ungodliness. But now Paul is on the back foot, as he is accused of being unqualified, unimpressive, and unprofessional. 2 Corinthians is Paul’s defense of authentic, gospel-centred ministry.

Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, like men sent from God.
2 Cor 2:17
