- 2 Corinthians

The God of All Comfort
This letter was apparently written not long after the first. We will observe the facts surrounding it as Paul writes. Suffice it to say, most of the church at Corinth had taken the first letter well and were striving to do as it instructed. However, a strong (vocal) minority was still stirring up trouble and leveling an attack against Paul.
