Abstract
In the first section of his Second Epistle to the Corinthians, chap. 1-7, the apostle rejoices over the obedience of the Corinthians to the various instructions of the First Letter. At the some time he, as a faithful pastor, admonishes them to still greater zeal in sanctification. He concludes this section with a hymn of joy and gratitude, laying bare his very heart, his conflicting emotions, with a frankness possible only to one who places fullest confidence in his readers. The Eisenach Epistle for Laetare Sunday is part of this conclusion, which really begins with v. 2.
