Chapters in 2 Corinthians

  1. 2 Corinthians 1: The God of All Comfort

    Paul praises God, who comforts believers in affliction so they can comfort others, and describes a deadly peril in Asia that taught him to rely on God. He explains that his change of travel plans was not fickle, for all God's promises are yes in Christ.

  2. 2 Corinthians 2: Forgiveness and the Aroma of Christ

    Paul explains that he wrote a painful letter out of love, and urges the church to forgive and restore the offender. God leads his servants in Christ's triumphal procession, spreading the fragrance of knowing Christ, an aroma of life to some and death to others.

  3. 2 Corinthians 3: The Glory of the New Covenant

    The Corinthians themselves are Paul's letter of recommendation, written by the Spirit. The old covenant of the letter came with fading glory, but the new covenant of the Spirit brings greater, lasting glory, and believers are transformed into Christ's image as they behold him.

  4. 2 Corinthians 4: Treasure in Jars of Clay

    Paul refuses to distort God's word, knowing that the god of this age blinds unbelievers while God shines the light of Christ in believers' hearts. This treasure is held in fragile jars of clay, and though afflicted, they do not lose heart, fixing their eyes on eternal things.

  5. 2 Corinthians 5: Ambassadors of Reconciliation

    Believers long for their heavenly dwelling and aim to please the Lord, before whose judgment seat all must appear. Christ's love compels Paul, since anyone in Christ is a new creation, and God reconciled the world to himself by placing our sin on his sinless Son.

  6. 2 Corinthians 6: Servants of God in Every Hardship

    Paul urges the Corinthians not to receive God's grace in vain, since this is the time God offers salvation. He describes the hardships, purity, and paradoxes of his ministry, pleads for them to open their hearts, and warns against being unequally yoked with unbelievers.

  7. 2 Corinthians 7: Godly Grief and Repentance

    Paul appeals for the Corinthians' affection and tells of the comfort he received when Titus arrived with news of their response. His severe letter grieved them, but their godly grief produced repentance leading to salvation, unlike worldly grief, which produces death.

  8. 2 Corinthians 8: The Grace of Giving

    Paul holds up the Macedonian churches, who gave generously out of deep poverty, and urges the Corinthians to complete their collection for Jerusalem. He points to Christ, who though rich became poor for their sake, and commends Titus and the brothers handling the gift.

  9. 2 Corinthians 9: Cheerful Generosity

    Paul urges the Corinthians to have their promised gift ready before he arrives, since generous sowing brings a generous harvest and God delights in willing, glad giving. God supplies all they need, and their giving will overflow in thanks to God for his indescribable gift.

  10. 2 Corinthians 10: Paul Defends His Authority

    Answering critics who call him bold in letters but weak in person, Paul says his weapons are not worldly but have divine power to destroy strongholds and take every thought captive to Christ. He refuses to boast beyond his assigned field, for commendation comes from the Lord.

  11. 2 Corinthians 11: Paul and the False Apostles

    Paul fears the Corinthians are being led astray by false apostles who preach another Jesus, disguised as servants of righteousness as Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. Reluctantly boasting, he lists his labors, imprisonments, beatings, and dangers for Christ.

  12. 2 Corinthians 12: Strength in Weakness

    Paul describes being caught up to paradise and the thorn in the flesh given to keep him humble. The Lord answers that his grace is enough, for divine power shows itself most fully in weakness. Paul defends his sincerity and fears finding unrepentant sin when he visits.

  13. 2 Corinthians 13: Examine Yourselves

    Paul warns that on his third visit he will not spare those who continue in sin, for Christ is powerful among them. He urges the Corinthians to test whether their faith is genuine, calls them to restoration, and closes with a Trinitarian blessing.
