September 8 :: Proverbs 3-5; 2 Corinthians 1


Intro to 2 Corinthians

Author: Paul

Date: 56 A.D.

Third Letter to the Corinthians: the second letter was delivered by Titus, but was lost

The Purpose of the Letter: 1) to express the gladness of the Corinthians taking to heart the concerns of Paul in previous letters, 2) to remind the Christians of their commitment to give to the Christians in Judea and 3) to defend Paul's authority as an apostle.

 


2 Corinthians 1:18-20

But as surely as God is faithful, our message to you is not "Yes" and "No." For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by me and Silas and Timothy, was not "Yes" and "No," but in him it has always been "Yes." For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes" in Christ.
