6.4 Let’s Practice…

1. Based on our study, how many Corinthian letters did Paul at least write in total?

2. Under which missionary trip did Paul plant the Corinthian church?

3-4. When and where was the book of 2 Corinthians written?

5-6. Besides the Corinthian church, who else was the primary audience of first and second Corinthians?

7-8. Name the two people Paul sent at different times to deal with the Corinthian problems on his
behalf?

9-11. what are the three things 2 Corinthians is about?

12-16. What are the five purposes of the writing of 2 Corinthians?

17-21. In brief, how would you outline the book of 2 Corinthians?

6.5 Let’s Personalize this lesson…

Like Paul and the Corinthians, modern-day Christians are no strangers to conflict. We often can
be deceived into thinking that worldly wisdom and power are the way to accomplish anything
of value. Instead, Paul tells us to look to the example of Jesus, who is light shining in darkness
(4:1–6). So, in that time of conflict, where do you find wisdom? How does it help you? How do
others benefit from that wisdom? How is God glorified in that wisdom? How does your ministry
benefit from that wisdom?
