Hell may be other people, but so is the Kingdom of God. It can be far easier to endure sticks and stones that words uttered at you or whispered behind your back. Church brings with it all the problems of people and their imperfections. However, God intends us to gather people together to grow, share, and endure. Paul bore a lot pain in his ministry, but the pain that inspired him to write a letter was emotional - inflicted on him by the Corinthians. He manages to keep his heart open and challenges us to do the same.
