2nd Corinthians Research Paper

372 Words2 Pages

2nd Corinthians is a deeply personal and touching letter and also a response to the intricate history between the Apostle Paul and the church he had established in Corinth. This letter tells the harsh truths in the ministry. Obviously the Apostle Paul wrote this letter and it’s his fourth letter to the church in Corinth. As we see in 1st Corinthians the church in Corinth wasn’t in good shape, so in 2nd Corinthians we see Paul travel to Corinth to solve the problems, but his visit only powered the church’s resistance. I learned many things when reading 2nd Corinthians. A lot of life lessons can be learned when reading this letter. First thing I learned is, Suffering is part of being a Christian. Paul was not a stranger to suffering. He went

Like Paul, I must constantly respond to the Macedonian call for aid (King 499).

Unlike most of Paul's other books, Philippians was not written as a correctional book for the church of Philippi. The books overarching look is more of a thankful book, because the church had helped Paul very generously through their giving for his other mission trips. Paul does mention minor problems within the church, but none of which were as harsh as the ones from Corinth, Galatia, or Ephesus. Just like all of the other epistles Paul wrote this book in prison.

    1 Corinthians 2:2 Paul writes “For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified (NLT). Paul emphasizes that when he is teaching the church of Corinth, that he has set his life, his past, behind him and focused on how Christ suffered on the cross, for himself, the Corinthians and those in the latter days.

    Because of his attribution to the New Testament as writing 13 books in the total of 27 books, Paul even considered himself “as little more than an ambassador or emissary for Jesus” (Powell, 231). Paul is the person who had oppressed the church. After that, on the road to Damascus, when he experienced a rendezvous with Jesus, he became a Christian missionary. Discussing particular theological issues, Paul’s epistles are written to a specific person or a specific group of people. Paul’s epistles are to Romans, two to Corinthians, Galatians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, two to Thessalonians, two to Timothy, Titus, and Philemon.

    Paul, on his late visit, had left Titus in Crete to establish Church government, and ordain presbyters (deacons are not mentioned). Titus had been several times employed by Paul on a mission to the Corinthian Churches, and had probably thence visited Crete, which was within easy reach of Corinth. Hence the suitableness of his selection by the apostle for the superintendence of the Cretan Church. Paul now follows up with instructions by letter those he had already given to Titus in person on the qualifications of elders, and the graces becoming the old, the young, and females, and warns him against the unprofitable speculations so rife in Crete. The national character of the Cretans was low in the extreme, as Epimenides, quoted in Tit_1:12, paints it.
