The power leaders, angling for control of the Corinthian church, had taken direct aim at Paul. In a concerted effort to undermine his spiritual authority, they had raised a number of serious questions and concerns about his credibility and the legitimacy of his calling. One of which had zeroed in on Paul’s change of itinerary regarding his long-anticipated return trip to Corinth, which they suggested was clear evidence of his duplicity and insincerity. In responding to their criticism, Paul gives us a rare, inside glimpse into his personal life and ministry, motives and purposes. 2 Corinthians 1:12-24 is an up-close and personal look at “A Profile in Integrity”. Read ahead and come prepared to worship together.
