After the introduction (2 Corinthians 1:1, 1:2) the apostle begins with the narrative of his troubles and God’s goodness, which he had met with in Asia, by way of thanksgiving to God (2 Corinthians 1:3-1:6), and for the edification of the Corinthians, 2 Corinthians 1:7-1:11. Then he attests his and his fellow-labourers’ integrity (2 Corinthians 1:12-1:14), and afterwards vindicates himself from the imputation of levity and inconstancy, 2 Corinthians 1:15-1:24.
