The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians
Why Did Paul Write Another Letter to Corinth?
Problems in the Corinthian branch of the Church continued. Paul’s prior epistle had helped the Saints make progress, but further instruction was needed. This second epistle reassured the Saints of Paul’s love and encouraged them to continue to be faithful in all their duties.
Paul met Titus in Macedonia. Titus reported on the reaction of the Corinthians to Paul’s letter. Most had accepted Paul’s counsel, but there were some who rejected it. Paul wrote another letter to further instruct and encourage them to accept his authority as a teacher of the gospel. He also promised that he would visit them again soon.
Paul stayed in Ephesus two years. During that time he wrote 1 Corinthians. He was forced to flee to Macedonia.
