Corinthians, The Second Epistle to The

VIEW:13 DATA:01-04-2020
Corinth'ians, The Second Epistle to The. The Second Epistle to the Corinthians was written a few months subsequent to the first, in the same year — about the autumn of A.D. 57 or 58 — at Macedonia. The Epistle was occasioned by the information which the apostle had received from Titus, and also, as it would certainly seem probable, from Timothy, of the reception of the first Epistle.
This information, as it would seem from our present Epistle, was mainly favorable; the better part of the church were returning to their spiritual allegiance to the founder, 2Co_1:13-14; 2Co_7:9; 2Co_7:15-16, but there was still a faction who strenuously denied Paul's claim to apostleship. The contents of this Epistle comprise,
(1) the apostle's account of the character of his spiritual labors, 2 Corinthians 1-7;
(2) directions about the collections, 2 Corinthians 8-9;
(3) defence of his own apostolical character, 2 Corinthians 10:1-13:10. The words in 1Co_5:9, seem to point to further Epistles to the church by Paul, but we have no positive evidence of any.
