2 Corinthians by Dr. Andrew C S Koh

Foreword by Archbishop Ng Moon Hing, Anglican Archbishop of Southeast Asia

Paul's final letter to the Corinthian Christians is much milder than his earlier letter. Though the problems of the church did continue to exist, there were changes seen with improvement, especially in the generosity of giving and livelihood. In the midst of Christian problems within the church, there was apparent pressure and persecution from without. By emphasizing the importance of faithfulness and continual trust in Jesus, Paul shared his own experiences of suffering and persecutions. He concluded with his famous quotation "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness". This remarkable phrase has, over the centuries, helped many disciples of Christ to fulfill God's Will in their lives.
