| 2 | Comfort and joy
After exhorting the Corinthians to live a life of holiness before God (2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1) and soliciting them to open their hearts to Him (2 Corinthians 6:11-13; 7:2, 3), Paul now expresses his comfort and exceeding joy (2 Corinthians 7:4) for the great news brought by Titus that his "painful" letter had fulfilled the purpose he intended for it (2 Corinthians 7:5-16).
In 2 Corinthians 7, Paul resumes the language of comfort that marked the early verses of this letter to the Corinthians (2 Corinthians 1:3-7). In 2 Corinthians 7:4, he repeats the phrase "In all our tribulation" used in 2 Corinthians 1:4. Bible interpreters refer to this phenomenon as an inclusio (or inclusion). An inclusio is a literary technique widely used by biblical authors, in which a passage is framed by repeating identical or closely related words or phrases at both its beginning and end. An inclusio envisions forming a sort of "envelope" around the text so as to indicate the completeness of a literary unit. In addition to that, an inclusio is somehow also intended to indicate the unifying idea of a given passage. These repeated references suggest that when writing 2 Corinthians 1-7, Paul experienced a sense of relief and comfort for the church's response to his "painful" letter.
Interestingly, while in 2 Corinthians 1:4, the phrase "in all our tribulation" is related to the comfort brought by God, in 2 Corinthians 7:4, Paul adds the element of joy. This can be better visualized in the table below.
2 Corinthians 1:4
God "comforts us in all our tribu-lation" (emphasis added).
2 Corinthians 7:4
"I am exceedingly joyful in all our tribulation" (emphasis added).
Paul is filled with comfort (See 2 Corinthians 7:4, 6, 7, 13. The verb "to comfort" and the noun "consolation" in 2 Corinthians 7 come from the same root in the original Greek.) and experiences exceeding joy (2 Corinthians 7:4, 7, 9, 13, 16). Interestingly, while the language of sorrow dominates 2 Corinthians 7:8-11, the language of joy prevails in the chapter as a whole. It is as though Paul were saying to the Corinthians, "God turned my sorrow into surpassing joy," as I received great news from you through Titus (verses 6, 13). What a beautiful picture we see here: church members can bring great joy to their spiritual leaders by expressing appreciation for their work!
While there is an inclusio around 2 Corinthians 1:4 and 7:4, there is another one formed by 7:4 and 7:16. Paul is, in fact, extremely joyful. In every constituent passage of 2 Corinthians 7:5-16, "joy is the dominant element-joy at the arrival and reports of Titus (verses 5-7), joy that the Corinthians have repented (verses 8-13a), and joy at Titus's joy (verses 13b-15)." Nothing brings more comfort and joy to the heart of an authentic minister of Christ than seeing church members live a holy life before God and express appreciation for the minister's work on their behalf.

| 3 | “Pray in your closet; and as you go about your daily labor, let your heart be often uplifted to God. It was thus that Enoch walked with God. These silent prayers rise like precious incense before the throne of grace. Satan cannot overcome him whose heart is thus stayed upon God”—Steps to Christ, pp. 98:3–99:0.

| 8 | Call to holiness
Once a person is reconciled to God, he must not "receive the grace of God in vain" (2 Corinthians 6:1). In other words, he must not live a life that is inconsistent with the requirements of the gospel of Christ. After all, "if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation" (2 Corinthians 5:17). Not infrequently, living a life that is consistent with the gospel involves facing hardships with patience and faith (verses 3-10).
While in 2 Corinthians 6:1-10, Paul is explaining and defending his ministry, in 6:11-18 there is a personal plea for the Corinthians to open their hearts to him just as he did to them (verses 11-13). He teaches us that, first and foremost, healthy relationships among brothers and sisters evidence holiness. In turn, healthy relationships within the church are an extension of our relationship with God and a fruit of our reconciliation with Him. However, Paul has more to say. He lists six additional appeals, exhorting the Corinthians and us to live a holy life (2 Cor-inthians 6:14-7:1).
The first appeal, "Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers" (2 Corinthians 6:14), contains a term that appears in the original text in Greek only here (heterozygeo), which means that Paul handpicked it. It is a compound word, which means "pull the yoke [zygos] in a different [heteros] direction than one's fellow." This term figuratively points to a mismatched union. Paul uses it to illustrate that the association of believers with unbelievers in terms of behavior is an uneven fellowship (2 Corinthians 6:14-16).
The idea above is so crucial for Paul that he repeats it twice, though with different words: "Come out from among them" and "Be separate" (2 Corinthians 6:17). These are the second and third appeals in 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1. The phrase "among them" refers to unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:15). Obviously, Paul is not forbidding all forms of association with unbelievers, but rather those that could lead believers to compromise their Christian principles.
The fourth appeal, "Do not touch what is unclean" (verse 17), calls believers to separate themselves from paganism and its inherent idolatry. This passage echoes Isaiah 52:11, where God calls His people to withdraw from Babylon's idolatrous influence by not touching her unclean things-objects or rituals associated with pagan religious practices.
The fifth appeal, "Let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh" (2 Corinthians 7:1), resumes the idea above. In turn, the sixth appeal, "Make holiness perfect" (2 Corinthians 7:1, RSV), "refers to a process of progressive sanctification." However, Paul closes this thought with the phrase "in the fear of God," meaning that sanctification is ultimately God's work.

| 9 | INFLUENCE UPON THE MIND.
"The dependence of mind upon organic conditions, upon cell-development of the brain - as stated in a previous chapter - is such that the effects of self-abuse are quite as
apparent upon the mind as upon the body; and derangements here are often the first intimation received by friends that something is wrong in the beloved one.
"The sufferer from this vice becomes listless, inattentive, indifferent. There is an inability to concentrate the mind, or apply it with any degree of vigor; want of interest in friends; loss of self-control; failure of memory, and difficulty of conducting conversation.
The reasoning is disconnected, and oftentimes the mental powers entirely fail; the victim becomes diffident, bashful, and ashamed, and seldom looks people in the face. His love of books is lost, history becomes a blank, the glowing pages of romance charm no more, the poet's spell hath lost its power, music's witchery is dead, the beauties of art are passed unheeded by, the loveliest landscape is but an arid desert, and nature's most sublime endeavors fail to arouse the soul of him who has long been contaminated by this loathsome vice."

| 12 | Christ-focused ministry of reconciliation
If you pay close attention to Paul's letters as you read them, you will easily realize that his words are filled with love for Jesus. You will also see that he maintained a strong devotional life. He had a prayer life (Romans 1:9, 10; Philippians 1:3, 4) and exhorted his readers to do the same (1 Thessalonians 5:17). He also had a powerful spiritual experience (Galatians 1:11, 12; 2 Corinthians 12:1-4). He used to sing as a spiritual discipline (Ephesians 5:19; Colossians 3:16) and seemed to know many passages from the Old Testament by memory (Romans 9-11), which indicates that reading the Bible was part of his life. Indeed, Paul loved Christ deeply and sincerely, even to the point of being willing to lose everything in this life for the sake of Him (Philippians 3:8-10). Paul's words in Philippians 3:8-10 are a beautiful way of expressing his love for Christ! He experienced a deep relationship with God. We are not caught by sur-prise when he says, "We are well known to God" (2 Corinthians 5:11). In 2 Corinthians 5:14, he gifts us with this striking statement, "The love of Christ compels us," which shows his assurance that Christ loves him. The English Standard Version says, "The love of Christ controls us" (ESV), meaning that the certainty that Christ loves us must control our actions.
All these details above show that Paul's ministry is altogether Christ-focused. Indeed, he did not live for himself but for Christ (verse 15) and developed a Christ-like ministry of reconciliation. Notice that first, God "has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, [then] has given us the ministry of reconciliation" (verse 18). It is crucial to understand the order Paul employs in verses 18 and 19; he explains the idea and immediately repeats it in different words. First, "God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, and [then] has committed to us the word of reconciliation" (verse 19).
Proclaiming "the word of reconciliation" (verse 19) is the same as being "ambassadors for Christ" (verse 20). In other words, an ambassador for Christ is one who works to reconcile people to God, even with this touching appeal, "We implore you on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God" (verse 20). The ministry of reconciliation is carried out by calling people to become "the righteousness of God" in Christ (verse 21). This is a call to holiness!

| 15 | Suffering and glory
Perhaps more than any other apostle, Paul emphasized how much Christians are subjected to suffering in this world. Likewise, no other apostle underscored so masterfully that our suffering in the present life precedes the glory that will be revealed in the future life (Romans 8:18). In 2 Corinthians 4:17, he presents a sharp contrast between our sorrowful experiences in this life and the unspeakable joy that waits for us in the life to come. In this life, we face affliction, but in the life to come, we will enjoy heavenly glory. In this life, our affliction is momentary, but in the life to come, our glory will be eternal. In this life, our affliction is light, but in the life to come, God will grant us an eternal weight of glory.
This perspective explains why the apostle Paul faced his hardships so courageously (verses 8, 9). Daily, he fed himself with the future hope he shared with others (verse 14). Those who share in the death of Jesus in this world, that is, the sufferings of the present life (Romans 8:18), will also take part in the life of Jesus, that is, the power of resurrection, at the Second Coming (Philippians 3:10).
When the time of his death had come (2 Timothy 4:6), Paul wrote a letter to a young pastor called Timothy. He said, "Endure afflictions" (2 Timothy 4:5). The one who said this is one who was "poured out as a drink offering" (2 Timothy 4:6), meaning martyrdom. What brought peace to his heart was this: "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing" (2 Timothy 4:7, 8). Perhaps, more than most of us, Paul knew that life is hard! (2 Corinthians 11:23-28). Only the assurance of what we will have in the life to come can give us peace as we face our trials in this life.

| 17 | Fruits of an authentic ministry
Paul hints in 2 Corinthians 3:1 that the church in Corinth was demanding letters of recommendation from him as if he needed to present credentials for his ministry. His response to their claim demonstrates how surprised he was with that situation, "Do we need, as some others, epistles of commendation to you?" The expected answer to this rhetorical question is: "Obviously not!" He didn't need letters of recommendation whatsoever! He states, "You are our epistle written in our hearts" (2 Corinthians 3:1, 2).
In other words, Paul emphasizes he does not need commendatory letters because the conversion of the church members is evidence that his ministry is authentic and genuine. The original Greek has an inversion of words that helps us understand Paul's emphasis when writing verse 2, "Our letters [of recommendation] are YOU" (author's paraphrase; emphasis added). Ellen White states, "The conversion of sinners and their sanctification through the truth is the strongest proof a minister can have that God has called him to the ministry."2
Interestingly, while Paul states in verse 2, "You are our epistle," he says in verse 3, "You are an epistle of Christ, ministered by us." Paul is altogether aware that he is only cooperating with Christ in his work for God. The phrase "of Christ" can also-and more likely-mean "from Christ."* However, in what sense are the Corinthians "a letter from Christ"? A possible answer is that "Paul is reflecting on the congregation's focus on Christ in its assembling to confess and praise him, with the members together set toward him, having been anointed by the Spirit...."3 Paul does not claim for himself the merit that belongs only to God. If you didn't notice, the three members of the Godhead are mentioned in 2 Corinthians 3:3, "Clearly you are an epistle of Christ, ... written not with ink but by the Spirit of the living God" (emphasis added). A ministry can be authentic and fruitful only in close cooperation with the members of the Trinity. Paul adds, "He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit" (2 Corinthians 1:21, 22; emphasis added).
