In his second epistle to the Corinthians, the Apostle Paul defends his authority as a God-appointed apostle and encourages the church there to offer forgiveness and reconciliation to one another. Paul proclaims that the new covenant in Christ is far superior to the old covenant of the law and that Christians should walk by faith, knowing that our current troubles are only temporary and soon we will experience the eternal glory of Heaven, which far outweighs our troubles. Believers should keep their focus on the invisible and eternal things, rather than earthly things. God's grace is sufficient for us while we endure these present troubles.
