 Second Corinthians, it is probably Paul's most intimate letter. It's really fourth Corinthians because Paul refers to a couple other letters that he's written to the church in Corinth. He has a very tempestuous, intimate, tortured relationship with the church in Corinth. By the time he writes second Corinthians, he's visited there a couple times. He's written a few letters, including one that's called the severe letter or the tearful letter, and then he writes this, which is really fourth Corinthians, but we refer to it as second Corinthians. He planted the church in Corinth. He loves them, but they have in some ways turned against him. So he spends a lot of time in the letter justifying his own apostleship and also telling the church in Corinth that it is up to them to rise to the occasion and to get some money together for the church in Jerusalem. He scolds them a bit, but mainly he loves them and he wants to continue his relationship with them. That's in a nutshell where the context of second Corinthians is with Paul. It is Paul's most intimate letter.
