2 Corinthians 3:7–18 As a Non-Pauline Interpolation
This article argues that 2 Cor 3:7-18 was neither composed by Paul nor inserted by him at its present location in 2 Corinthians—that the passage is, in fact, a later, non-Pauline interpolation.

| Summary: | This article argues that 2 Cor 3:7-18 was neither composed by Paul nor inserted by him at its present location in 2 Corinthians—that the passage is, in fact, a later, non-Pauline interpolation. More specifically, it proposes (a) that the relation of vv. 7-18 to their context, both immediate and larger, points to the secondary insertion of the passage between 2 Cor 3:6 and 2 Cor 4:1, (b) that distinctive vocabulary in the verses suggests composition by someone other than Paul, and (c) that apparent verbal and/or conceptual links between vv. 7-18 and their immediate context, however, suggest composition of the verses (by someone other than Paul) precisely for the purpose of insertion at their present location in 2 Corinthians. Finally, the article offers a possible scenario explaining why the interpolation appears where it does in 2 Corinthians. |
