A Church Adrift

2 Corinthians 11-21

The Apostle Paul is nearing the end of his letter.  At chapter 12:11 the reader might envision Paul saying, "I have said all that (chapters 1-12:10) to say this (chapters 12:11-13:10).  Paul's heartfelt letter to the Corinthians was prompted by his deep disappointment in church's loyalty to his apostolic ministry.  Paul's disappointment is summarized by the question he posits in verse 15b: "If I love you more, am I to be loved less?"
