There is a curious statement by Paul in his Second Letter to the Corinthians:
2 Corinthians 12:21: "I am afraid that when I come again my God may humiliate me before you, and I may mourn over many of those who have sinned in the past and not repented of the impurity, immorality and sensuality which they have practiced" (emphasis added).
Paul is obviously fearful about this encounter. Why would God "humiliate" (humble?) him before the saints at Corinth? What purpose might this serve?
