In both New Testament epistles to the church at Corinth but especially in 2 Corinthians, Paul gives a powerful example of what it means to lead the body of Christ as a servant leader. He suffers to comfort others. He shows humility. He points to the example of Christ. He seeks to preserve the unity of the faith. But he does not shy away from confronting inappropriate behavior. Scriptures referenced include 2 Corinthians 7:6; 2 Corinthians 1:3,4; 2 Corinthians 3:5-8; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12; 2 Corinthians 2:3-4, 6-7; and 2 Corinthians 4:5.
