Abstract

The question of the identity of Paulâs opposition opens this chapter. Based on first, the lack of sound evidence and second, the finding that 2 Corinthians 10-13 represents a later letter, there are insufficient grounds for concluding that the âsuper-apostlesâ were in Corinth at the time that Paul wrote 2:14-7:4. Rather, the evidence from within 2:14-7:4 indicates that opposition to Paul likely arose from within the community. Paulâs defensiveness arose from suspicions about his honesty and integrity (2:17; 4:2; 6:3; 7:2) and concerns over his poor physical presence (2 Cor 4:7-12; 5:1-10; 6:3-10). These were linked together in the minds of the Corinthians. Paulâs suffering was understood by at least some in the community as Godâs punishment for the apostleâs alleged attempt to defraud the community by means of the collection for the Jerusalem church (cf. 6:9).
