Paul, writing to the Corinthians for a second time, has much to
say. Much of his writing comes to us as being stern. But
consider: don't you endure much more bad behavior from other
people's children than your own? You discipline your children;
you wish others would discipline theirs. The Corinthians are
Paul's children.
