Apostle Paul's second letter to the people of Corinth is a letter of reconciliation and addresses further concerns the church has.
Second Corinthians begins with greetings (1:1-11). Paul then defends his apostleship and affirms affection for the Corinthians (1:12–7:16). Instructions for collecting for the poor in the Jerusalem church are given (8:1–9:15). Finally, further defense of his apostleship (10:1–13:10) and closing greetings (13:11-13).
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
– Jesus, 2 Corinthians 12:9
