The Apostle Paul's second letter to Corinth commends the formerly wayward group of believers for their obedient response to his first letter. He challenges the Corinthians to move ahead and become complete in their devotion to Christ.

From Matthew Henry's Commentary:

"In his former epistle [to the Corinthians] the apostle had signified his intentions of coming to Corinth, as he passed through Macedonia (I Cor. 16:5), but, being providentially hindered for some time, he writes this second epistle to them about a year after the former; and there seem to be these two urgent occasions: 1) The case of the incestuous person, who lay under censure, required that with all speed he should be restored and received again into communion. This therefore he gives directions about (Ch. 2), and afterwards (Ch. 7) he declares the satisfaction he had upon the intelligence he received of their good behaviour in that affair. 2) There was a contribution now making for the poor saints at Jerusalem, in which he exhorts the Corinthians to join (Ch. 8,9)."
