Corinthians. Now, this is one of two letters that Paul wrote to the Corinthian church that was scripture.
00:26
We know he's written at least one other, maybe even two, so possibly a total of four letters to the
00:32
Corinthian church, that only two of which were scripture. Now, this is going to be probably the most personal book that you have from Paul.
00:43
He is having to address concerns about his own apostleship, and he will, in this letter, get more personal and speak more of himself than in any other book that we have from Paul.
00:57
This is one that what we end up seeing is that Paul here is going to have to deal with people that are attacking his credibility.
01:07
These are false prophets that are coming in, false apostles claiming that they have the right to speak, and Paul doesn't.
01:14
They're going to make claims about Paul, and he has to correct these things. He's going to deal with the nature of his ministry, the nature of basically the things that God had for him as a purpose, and in this we're going to see different things that he will address as teaching, such as how to give and dealing with apostleship and authority.
01:38
He's going to deal with all these things, but he's also encouraged because they took the first letter that they had received from Paul, and they corrected some of the bad behavior, so they learned from their mistakes from Paul's first letter.
