Notes on 2 Corinthians - Plano Bible Chapel
Copyright 2020 by Thomas L. Constable Notes on 2 corinthians 2020 Edition Dr. Thomas L. Constable HISTORICAL BACKGROUND First Corinthians did not dispel the problems in the church at Corinth completely. While it resolved some of them, opposition to the Apostle Paul persisted, and Paul's critics continued to speak out against him in the church. One man in particular seems to have been the ringleader of the opposition (10:7-11). He had rallied the support of a significant minority. The issue was Paul's apostolic authority. His critics were claiming equal authority with Paul. This was in effect a claim to apostolic authority, on their part, and or a denial of the full apostolic authority of Paul. News of continuing problems in Corinth reached Paul, in Ephesus, during his prolonged stay there on his third missionary journey. He then made a brief visit to Corinth. However, his efforts to resolve the conflicts proved unsuccessful (2:1; 12:14; 13:1-2).
Another view is that the former letter is 1 Corinthians and the person who offended Paul (2 Cor. 2:5; 7:12) is the incestuous man referred to in 1 Corinthians 5:1.1 "According to this view, there was 'no painful visit,' for the word 'again' in 2:1 does not necessarily mean that Paul made a visit between writing First and Second Corinthians.
