was to go from Ephesus to Corinth directly
by sea, then to Macedonia, then back to
Corinth (thus a “second bene t” for the
Corinthians, 2 Cor. 1:15), nally on to
Jerusalem. His changed plan (Acts 20:3; 1
Cor. 16:5-8) was to go rst to Macedonia,
then to Corinth, then to Jerusalem via
Macedonia. The reason for delaying his visit
to Corinth was to “allow the Corinthians by
God’s help to remedy the evils, and then to
arrive in their midst.” (R. C. H. Lenski, The
Interpretation of St. Paul’s First and Second
Epistles to the Corinthians, p. 858). One
consequence of this change was that the
Corinthians charged Paul with not being a
man of his word (2 Cor. 1:17).

Paul to the Corinthians, p. 10.
25. For an able defense of the unity of the
full text of 2 Corinthians, consult Tasker,
pp. 23-35.

27. Adapted from W. Graham Scroggie,
Know Your Bible, 2:142-43.
28. Observe, for example, how 7:5 picks up
the narrative that had been temporarily
suspended at 2:13. It is for this reason that
the section 2:14—7:4 is often viewed as a
parenthesis in the epistle.

Plummer, Second Epistle of St. Paul to the
Corinthians, pp. xx-xxi.

Survey, p. 300.
31. The interval of one year is cited in 8:10
and 9:2. It has been pointed out by some,
however, that the Greek text translated “a
year ago” should read “last year” (NIV),
which would make the interval something
less than a year. (See R. V. G. Tasker, The
Second Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians, p.
123.)

Epistle of St. Paul to the Corinthians, p. 382.

34. Read the following passages, which
reveal something of the dark side of the
Corinthian scene at this time: 11:3-4; 12:2021; 13:5-7, 11.
35. Consult commentaries for identi cation
of “a man” in 12:2.
13Galatians: Set Free from Bondage
The epistle to the Galatians was Paul’s
rst God-breathed (theopneustia) writing,
delivered to the churches of Galatia during
the decade of his missionary labors.1 (See
Chart 1, p. 20.) We have already surveyed
Romans and the Corinthian letters of this
period. Recall from your study of Chapter 1
that James and Galatians were probably the
rst New Testament books to be written
(James A.D. 45; Galatians, A.D. 48). In our
surveys of these letters we shall observe that
both concerned themselves with the subject
of works. But each book stressed a di erent,
though not contradictory, aspect of that
common subject. James was addressed to
the error of loose an-tinomianism (from anti,
“against” and nomos, “law”), which said that
because a person is saved by grace through
faith, works thereafter are not important.
