How long after the letter to the Galatians was 2 Corinthians written?
2 Corinthians was written two years after the letter to the Galatians. The context states that this letter is written two years after Galatians, and the matters dealt with in the Galatian letter had already occurred quite some time before 2 Corinthians was penned.
Les explains that 2 Corinthians was written two years after the letter to the Galatians. He points out that what Paul dealt with in the Galatian letter had already taken place quite some time before he writes this letter of 2 Corinthians. This means the two-year gap is important because the problems addressed in Galatians were already in the past by the time Paul writes 2 Corinthians. Paul is writing directly to the congregation at Corinth and to all the saints in Achaia.
