A little historical footnote before we start this chapter: Scholars
think that 2 Corinthians is actually made up of two letters. The
first one was chapters 1-9. The second one begins here. You'll
probably notice the weird tone shift. Just a sentence ago, Paul was
praising the Corinthians for their generosity and asking them for
money, and now he's reaming them out. No one is going to empty
their pocketbooks after this stuff. You Wouldn't Like Paul When
He's Angry. Paul begins by saying he's writing to them in "the
meekness and gentleness of Christ," and then he goes on to freak
out. It seems people have been saying Paul is actually more
impressive in letter than in person. Hey, all we have is letters to
go on, but that might be true. But Paul wants to make it clear that
he's not afraid to confront these naysayers when he sees them. Paul
is a man of action, not just beautifully written words. We're at
war here. And Paul is going to take it to the enemy. Let's get
ready to rumble. Tried-and-True Apostle Paul reminds the
Corinthians that if they're really devoted to Christ, they'll see
that he is, too. Not like these other jerks hanging around Corinth.
It seems there's a group of so-called apostles who don't like Paul
much. Don't think the people in Corinth should actually be
listening to him. But Paul tells them that he's not going to brag
about himself like they do. Maybe they're all talking up their
holiness or how they all had fancy religious experiences. Paul's
not gonna go there. He reminds the Corinthians that he was the one
who founded their church. Him. Paul. Now these punks have come in
and tread on his work. Why? Can't they get their own flock. Thanks
