Paul’s Defense
In 2 Corinthians, Apostle Paul wrote again to the church in Corinth, this time in defense of his apostleship. Although he wasn’t a very imposing person, and he used to persecute the church so that he considered himself the least of all the apostles, God had appointed him to be an apostle.
