Scripture Reading Plan

  • 2 Corinthians ch.9 continues Paul’s call to the Corinthian church to give generously in support of the believers in Jerusalem. In chapters 10–13, he defends his apostleship, warns against false apostles, and humbly shares his hardships and weaknesses, urging Corinthians to find true strength in Christ. Paul’s deep love for the Corinthians is evident—he grieves and weeps for them, longing for their repentance and obedience to Christ, which would fill him with joy.

  • Romans was written by Paul during his stay in Corinth, addressed to the believers in Rome. Romans Ch.1–2 lay the theological foundation of the letter, proclaiming the gospel as God’s power for the salvation of all who believe. Paul makes clear that all people, Jew and Gentile alike, are under sin and without excuse, and that justification comes only through faith.
