The Book of Acts briefly recounts the third missionary journey, and it was during this journey that the apostle Paul wrote his second letter to the Corinthians. Therefore, to understand the nature of this letter, one can only refer to the information that the apostle Paul himself wrote in it.
In this letter, Paul openly expressed his intention to revisit this Christian community. Paul knew that after the founding of the Church of Corinth, many supposed Christian teachers had arrived who had discredited him, and this was because during the first century after Christ, there were no written gospels. The apostle Paul, with a conciliatory tone in his writing, did not accuse anyone in particular due to the problems that had arisen in the Church that he had founded and that he had made grow with the power of his preaching and the help of his assistants like Silas and Timothy, and he always emphasized the most important thing of Christian spirituality, the love of Christ for all believers.
Paul was an enlightened, guided, and inspired person, and this is something that the apostle to the Gentiles expressed in one way or another in each of his letters. This is why Paul emphasized that his second epistle to the Corinthians contained no ambiguities and that his teachings were inspired by the Holy Spirit. And in this second letter, Paul taught very important things: the superiority of the new covenant sealed with Christ on the cross, the importance of preaching the gospel with its mysteries, and the importance of receiving God's grace.
And after mentioning the importance of a collection for the Church of Jerusalem, and giving some advice of various kinds, the apostle took his leave affectionately, recalling the importance of God's gifts for living, and he did so with these words: "May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all" 2 Corinthians 13:14. With this, the apostle Paul took his leave, acknowledging the importance of the spiritual love, called Agape in Greek language, and how with this perfect love, together with communion, the life in common, every believer achieves that new life that Christ announced with wisdom in the gospels.
