2 Corinthiansਨਮੂਨਾ

Paul’s heart is that the Corinthians would do what is spoken about in 2 Chronicles 7:14, humble themselves and repent so that their relationship with Paul, and ultimately God, might be restored. In verse 19, we see Paul give clarity that His intentions for writing this, were never to defend his own name, but to build up the church, not to create a culture of defensiveness, but one of humility and a repentant heart.

This is one of the major points Paul is trying to communicate in this chapter: When we adopt a posture of humility it enables us to be in a position to receive the grace of God in a new way.
