(1Corinthians 2) Dealing with The authority that is in you

In (1 Corinthians 2)
Paul references a third and painful letter:
For I wrote to you out of much affliction and anguish of heart and with many tears.

As we learned in 1 Corinthians, the church in Corinth was weak, struggling with division and spiritual immaturity. Paul's authority had been undermined by an opposing teacher who was misleading and dividing with false teachings.
