A potential mess, 2 Co.12:20 Contentions: discord, quarrel, 1 Co.1:11; 3:3 Jealousies: zeal, envy; self-assertion Outbursts of wrath: anger, rage; fit of temper. Ga.5:20; Ep.4:26, 31 Selfish ambitions: Ga.5:20 Backbitings: slander. 1 Pt.2:1 Whisperings: gossip, talebearing Conceits: pride, conceit. Vb.: 1 Co.4:6, 18f. Tumults: disorder, unruliness, Ja.3:6

Summary – 2 Co.13 What to expect from Paul’s visit, 1-4 What Corinthians owe themselves, 5-9 –Their estimate of Paul and their attitude will determine how he treats them (cf. 1 Co.4:21) Why he sends this letter, 10 Conclusions, exhortations, greetings, and blessings, 11-14

Paul’s visits to Corinth If Paul already made 2 nd visit to Corinth… 2 Co.2:1, why did he not say so (1:15- 16)? Why explain his change of plans? 2 Co.12:14, 3 rd time he planned to go (this time he will not change plans). 2 Co.13:1, if he already failed in a 2 nd visit, their charge is true (10:10) –If his ‘second visit’ failed, why repeat another idle threat (13:1-3)? 1 Co.4:18, 21

A Powerless Christ? (13:4) Christ: crucified in weakness (Mt.27:39-43) Paul: weak among the Corinthians (3-4) Both views are wrong Patience is not weakness Parallels WeaknessChristPower WeakPaulPower

This is a test! (13:5) Examine: 1.Try, attempt, make an effort to do something, Ac.9:26; 16:7; 24:6 2.Make trial of, put to the test, v.5; Jn.6:6; Hb.11:17; Rv.2:2 3.Entice, tempt, 1 Co.7:5; Ga.6:1; Ja.1:13 Test: make a critical examination of something, determine genuineness, put to the test, Lk.12:56; 1:19; 1 Co.11:28; 2 Co.2:9

Disqualified (13:5-7) Not standing the test, then unqualified, worthless, base; disapproved, rejected after examination, not usable Ro.1:28; 1 Co.9:27; 2 Tim.3:8; Tit.1:16; Hb.6:8 (Jer.6:30; Dn.5:27); 2 Co.13:5-7 Their testing of themselves would show them who Paul is (6) Their repentance is more important than Paul’s proving he has power to punish (7)
