                                    Introduction to Chapter 1 Second Corinthians is Paul's second biblical letter to the church he helped to establish in the Greek city of Corinth. Much has happened between him and the Corinthians since he wrote 1 Corinthians from the city of Ephesus about a year earlier. He has traveled to Corinth, had a painful and likely confrontational visit there, and has written another letter—now lost—in response to that visit. This letter comes after receiving news from his co-worker Titus about a change of heart among the Corinthians regarding Paul.  ( https://www.bibleref.com/2-Corinthians/1/2-Corinthians-chapter-1.html) God Offers Comfort to All, Verses  1-11 ,  TEANNIE This letter is from Paul, chosen by the will of God to be an apostle of Christ Jesus, and from our brother Timothy.

                                 Introduction to Chapter 15 In chapters 12, 13, and 14, Scripture focused on the concept of spiritual gifts and how best to use them. Chapter 15 contains extensive teaching on one last issue about which some Corinthians were confused or misled. Apparently, they harbored some doubts about the physical resurrection of Christians from the dead. Will Christians really be raised from the dead as Christ was after the crucifixion? Some of the Corinthians did not think so. A group of them either believed false teaching or blended Christian ideas with the Greco-Roman philosophies of their day. Perhaps they imagined life completely ends in death. More likely, they thought the human spirit continues into the afterlife without a body of any kind. Paul writes this chapter to correct their thinking, teaching about what resurrection from the dead means for born-again believers.
