The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians
QUICK SUMMARY
Commonly known as 2 Corinthians, or The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians, is unique particularly among Saint Paul’s writings in the New Testament in that it is more personal and emotional than his other letters. Addressed to the early Christian church in Corinth, this second letter assumes a more defensive posture and seeks to counter heresy and false prophets within the church while asserting his authority.
Saint Paul emphasizes preaching not oneself, but preaching Jesus Christ; acknowledges that Christians will suffer earthly afflictions but their reward is eternal; introduces the now famous expression “thorn in the flesh” or “thorn in one’s side”; and encourages self-reflection through scripture.
