2 Corinthians 2

Paul seems to be having trouble with these people in Corinth.  After that huge build-up in his coming to Corinth at the end of 1st Corinthians, it looks like his meeting with them was "painful" (v 2) and that he even wrote another letter "tearfully" (v 4).  You have to wonder what was going on there.  What I love about these letters is that there is so much raw human emotion in the words yet there is also an eloquence that transcends time.  Almost every other verse is something you can pin to your wall and live by, and this chapter ends with just such a verse:

Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.
