I've never heard any believer refer to a second book of the Bible as "two"

Well, my Bible does show it as 2 (Two) Corinthians and not Second Corinthians. But I guess my body isn't completely riddled with Trump hatred that makes me twitch and spasm when he doesn't exude the qualities of perfection you demand.

Yes, in the book of New Testaments:

I. Corinthians
II. Corinthians

“Well, my Bible does show it as 2 (Two) Corinthians and not Second Corinthians.”

That’s a shorthand, an abbreviation. If you turn to the first page of that book, I’m sure you’ll see the actual title. Nobody refers to it, when speaking, as “2 Corinthians”, because that is exclusively a written shorthand.

Similarly, if I was speaking, I wouldn’t say “Rev 20”, I would say “Revelations, chapter 20”.

Most Bibles I have seen call it the Second Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians. It follows the First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians.

There is no Third Corinthians, though.
