📚 About this Book
✦ Chapter Overview

In this chapter Paul tells the Corinthians that their present troubles are brief and will pass, unlike the long suffering of the Babylonian exile. He reminds them that God is not ashamed to be called a husbandman, and that the present is temporary, the future is glorious. The message encourages believers to endure hardship with hope in the coming reward.
