The Epistles of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians were written from Ephesus about A.D. 57. The Christians of Corinth have found it hard to live as they know they should and question Paul about their difficulties. In First Corinthians Paul answers their question, points out what they have done wrong, and encourages them with his message, “You are Christ’s.” Second Corinthians contains Paul’s message of thanksgiving and love. Then he goes on to describe the tribulations he has suffered while preaching the gospel of Christ.

2 Corinthians 6

6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
