Introduction
This is Paul’s second letter to the believers in Corinth that we have in our Bibles, but could easily have been his third or fourth letter to them. We deduce this from his reference to other letters, e.g., see https://www.GotQuestions.org/how-many-letters-Corinthians.html, but we don’t have copies of them.
This letter from Paul to the believers in Corinth was written from Macedonia at a time when his relationship with the believers there wasn’t very good.
In first part of this document, Paul tells about his relationship with the believers there in Corinth. He explains his sadness concerning the shame of the believers and their disobedience of him. Then he tells again about his happiness that his anger faded after the believers repented of their sin and then their good relationship was restored. He urged the believers to continue to collect a gift of aid for poor believers in Yerusalem.
In the final four chapters, Paul justifies his missionary status to them. (Those that accused Paul said that he’s not a true ambassador of Messiah.)
