What Makes Special Revelation Special

The Glory of Gospel Ministry
2 Corinthians 4:1-6 Find your way to 2 Corinthians 4:1. Paul’s second epistle to the Corinthians is really the most autobiographical of all his epistles. That letter reveals Paul’s deep affection for the Corinthians. It gives us insight into what he suffered as an apostle, as Jesus promised him.
