Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians is a heartfelt, comforting, and inspiring section of Scripture. It was likely written about 4-6 months after 1 Corinthians. The believers there had gone way off track in many categories of God’s revelation/exhortation to them as set forth in Romans, and even though it was painful for him to do, Paul reproved them over and over throughout his first epistle. Given that they took heed to his reproof (the correction of practical/behavioral error), his second letter is filled with heart and love and anticipation of seeing them again and enjoying sweet fellowship with them. It also points them to the glorious HOPE of Christ’s coming back for them and him.

Love you John! Thank you so much for remaining faithful to your calling, among other things, you do it for me. Writing you from Los Angeles, CA.
If I would just internalize one percent of that teaching how much sweeter life would be for me and others. It’s clear having three squares per day is not the purpose of life. May you live until the gathering together and may ancient words you continue to impart. Love you brother. Thank you so much!!
