2 Corinthians 2:4 - Additional Comments

This "letter of tears" referred to here was probably written between 1 and 2 Corinthians. Apparently it was a very painful letter to write. It appears this was because of a particular individual in Corinth (vs 5). Paul was grieved not by this person (vs 5), but by how this person was affecting the others in the church.
