📚 Historical Context
In the first century AD, the Apostle Paul wrote his second letter to the Corinthians to address conflicts, false teachers, and divisions within the early church. In chapter 10, Paul is defending his apostolic authority and discussing spiritual warfare, emphasizing his readiness to confront disobedience among believers. He ties this to the need for the Corinthians to first achieve full obedience to the gospel before any corrective action is taken.
