A Year of Turmoil in One Verse
Multiple commentators explain that this single verse condenses almost a year of Paul's life, which is detailed in his letters. During this time, he experienced intense anxiety over the church in Corinth, suffered from his "thorn in the flesh," and wrote 2 Corinthians. This verse is a brief summary of a period filled with deep personal and pastoral turmoil.
