| Summary: | A precise temporal (and sometimes topographical) scheme is found behind Second Corinthians at three levels: (i) 1-7 (past: Ephesus → Macedonia), 8-9 (present: Macedonia), 10-13 (future: Macedonia → Corinth); (ii) 2.12-7.16 (Troas (2.12-13) → the Hellespont (2.14-7.4) → Macedonia (7.5-16)); (iii) 2.14-7.4. For (i)-(ii), see 1 Thess 1-3 and 2.17-3.10. For (iii), I detail this temporal structure: (a) 3.1-18 → 4.1-6; (b) 4.7-5.10 → 5.11-13; (c) 5.14-6.10 → 6.11-7.4, viz. (a) Paul's initial call and (b) his life in the present and future → his general missionary practice, including to ‘you’, and (c) his now directly addressing ‘you’ with strong paraenesis. |
