	Second Epistle to the Corinthians - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Shortly after writing his first letter to the Corinthians, Paul left Ephesus, where intense excitement had been aroused against him, the evidence of his great success, and proceeded to Macedonia.
		Here he expected to meet with Titus, whom he had sent from Ephesus to Corinth, with news of the effects produced on the church there by the first epistle; but was disappointed (1 Corinthians 16:9; 2 Corinthians 1:8; 2:12, 13).
		He then left Troas and proceeded to Macedonia; and at Philippi, where he delayed, he was soon joined by Titus (2 Corinthians 7:6, 7), who brought him good news from Corinth, and also by Timothy.

	2 Corinthians
		2 Corinthians was written after 1 Corinthians, and represents a later phase in the turbulent and strained relationship between Paul and the church at Corinth.
		Finally, in 2 Cor 11:4, Paul describes his opponents as those who came to the Corinthians and preached another Jesus than the Jesus that he and his associates preached; the implication is that they came after Paul's eighteen months spent at Corinth during his second missionary journey.
		Thus, 2 Cor 10-13 could be part of the "severe letter." But, if Paul was anticipating resistance from a minority in Corinth when he arrived in Corinth for the third time, then the references to a future visit in 2 Cor 10-13 could just as easily be referring to this anticipated third visit.

	2 Corinthians - NRSV (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		2 You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all; 3 and you show that you are a letter of Christ, prepared by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
		(2 Corinthians 5) For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens.
		(2 Corinthians 8) We want you to know, brothers and sisters, about the grace of God that has been granted to the churches of Macedonia; 2 for during a severe ordeal of affliction, their abundant joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.

		Some support for this interpretation may be found in the context; cf the references to baptism (2 Cor 5:5), to judgment according to works (2 Cor 5:10), and to present renewal (2 Cor 4:16), an idea elsewhere combined with the image of "putting on" a new nature (Eph 4:22-24; Col 3:1-5, 9-10).
		The Spirit as a first installment: the striking parallel to 2 Cor 5:1-5 in Romans 8:17-30 describes Christians who have received the "firstfruits" (cf "first installment" here) of the Spirit as "groaning" (cf 2 Cor 5:2, 4 here) for the resurrection, the complete redemption of their bodies.
		Not counting their trespasses: the reconciliation is described as an act of justification (cf "righteousness," 2 Cor 5:21); this contrasts with the covenant that condemned (2 Cor 3:8).

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Epistles to the Corinthians
		If the Corinthians were impressed by the eloquence of Apollo, they could not help feeling, when they heard and read this Epistle, that here was an author capable of bearing comparison not only with Apollo, but with the best that they could boast in Greek literature, of which they were so justly proud.
		In the first six chapters he rebukes them for their faults and corrects abuses: (1) He shows the absurdity of their divisions and bickerings; (2) deals with the scandalous case of incest; (3) their lawsuits before pagans; and (4) the want of sufficient horror of impurity in some of them.
		In the first of these (chapters i to vii, incl.), after (1) introduction, (2) the Apostle shows that his change of plan is not due to lightness of purpose but for the good of the people, and his teaching not mutable; (3) he did not wish to come again in sorrow.

	2 CORINTHIANS, NRSV NEW TESTAMENT (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		First and Second Corinthians are not the only letters Paul wrote to Corinth, and an examination of the sequence of events behind these letters gives an indication of the tensions in the relationship between Paul and the Corinthian church.
		Thus, 2 Corinthians as it now stands seems to be a composite of fragments from different letters, though their precise extent and relative chronology are open to question.
		He then dwells on his relationship with the Corinthians (1.12-2.13), but after a conciliatory passage and before he finishes recounting his travel plans (2.5-13) he enters into an argumentative discourse (2.14-5.21) that ends in an anxious appeal for reconciliation (6.1-13; 7.2-4 [6.14-7.1 appears to be parenthetical]).

	Background of Second Corinthians
		(2 Corinthians 2:1) Acts does not mentions the trip but Paul speaks of his third trip in 2 Corinthians 12:14; 13:1 In some way Paul was offended by someone in the Church.
		(2 Corinthians 7:6-15) Paul wrote 2 Corinthians from Macedonia to express his thankfulness for their repentance and to encourage them to continue collecting money for the Jerusalem Church.
		(2 Corinthians 8-9) There appears to still be a group within the Church who opposed his apostolic authority as Paul must defend it once again.

		Cf Matthew 25:1-13 and the nuptial imagery in Rev 21.
		Paul, through whom God reveals the knowledge of himself (2 Cor 2:14), and in whom the death and life of Jesus are revealed (2 Cor 4:10-11; cf 2 Cor 6:4), also demonstrates his own role as the bearer of true knowledge.
		Yet his boast does not spring from ignorance (2 Cor 11:21; 12:6) nor is it concerned merely with human distinctions (2 Cor 11:18).

	2 Corinthians
		And the afflictions of the Corinthians were a testimony to him that, however great their moral weakness had been, they had part in those consolations which he enjoyed himself, and which he knew to be so deep, so real, which he knew to be of God, and a token of His favour.
		To have left Troas was indeed a proof of his affection for the Corinthians; and the apostle recalls the circumstance as a strong demonstration of that affection.
		Also he hoped that, when he visited the Corinthians, his ministry would be enlarged among them by their increase of faith, in order that he might go on beyond them to evangelise regions that still lay in darkness.

		Notice 2 Corinthians 4:5, "For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake." When Paul uses his gift in ministry to the church he says he becomes their servant for Jesus' sake.
		In 2 Corinthians 4:15 Paul says that the use of his gift of apostleship "is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving to the glory of God.
		Paul says in 2 Corinthians 4:17, "This slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison." Paul's point is not merely, hang on, it will be better by and by.

	USCCB - NAB - 2 Corinthians 1
		This introduces a meditation on the experience of suffering and encouragement shared by Paul and the Corinthians (2 Cor 1:4-7), drawn, at least in part, from Paul's reflections on a recent affliction (2 Cor 1:8-10).
		Two references to boasting frame this paragraph (2 Cor 1:12, 14), the first appearances of a theme that will be important in the letter, especially in 2 Cor 10-13; the term is used in a positive sense here (cf the note on 1 Cor 1:29-31).
		The expressions to spare you (2 Cor 2:23) and work together for your joy (2 Cor 2:24) introduce the major themes of the next two paragraphs, which are remarkable for insistent repetition of key words and ideas.

	2 Corinthians
		Second Corinthians is one of the four letters of Paul known as the Hauptbriefe, which are universally accepted to contain authentic Pauline correspondence.
		However, there are difficulties that have suggested to several commentators that 2 Corinthians has been compiled from several pieces of correspondence.
		This undeniable incongruity between the two parts of II Corinthians naturally suggests that we have in it two letters instead of one - one conciliatory and gratified, the other injured and incensed.

	USCCB - NAB - 2corinthians - Introduction
		Paul deals at length with aspects of this situation in 2 Cor 2:14-7:4 and again in 2 Cor 10:1-13:10, though the manner of treatment and the thrust of the argument differ in each of these sections.
		For example, the long section of 2 Cor 2:14-7:4 seems abruptly spliced into the narrative of a crisis and its resolution.
		Identical or similar topics, moreover, seem to be treated several times during the letter (compare 2 Cor 2:14-7:4 with 2 Cor 10:1-13:10, and 2 Cor 8:1-24 with 2 Cor 9:1-15).

	Robert Price, "Apocryphal Apparitions: 1 Corinthians 15:3-11"
		In 1 Corinthians he is dealing with those who believe that Christ's resurrection has brought a realized eschatological newness of life which in fact is only another disguise for the exaltation of the flesh in religious enthusiasm.
		In 1 Corinthians, he says the same thing when he notes in 15:10 what he has already said in 4:8-13, that in himself he is unworthy and impotent, but thanks to Christ, he is an effective apostle.
		Fuller, representing this position, asks, "Could it not be that, at an earlier stage of the tradition, the [Pentecost] pericope narrated an appearance of the Risen One in which he imparted the Spirit to the +500, as in the appearance to the disciples in John 20:19-23?" (Formation, 36).

		There he met Titus and received word that the sharp, caustic letter he had written had accomplished its work, and that the majority of the Corinthian Christians had repented of their rejection of his ministry and had begun to live again the life of Jesus Christ.
		Paul wrote the second letter to the Corinthians which expresses so much of the anxiety and agitation of the heart that he experienced.
		He goes on to declare the great hope of the believer, that "we look not at the things which are seen, but the things which are unseen" (2 Corinthians 4:18 RSV).We know that we have a body which cannot be destroyed "a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens" (2 Corinthians 5:1 RSV).
