Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 12:14

Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a burden to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.The third time ... Although these words may properly be construed as a reference to planning a third visit, McGarvey said, "Evidently it was to be his third visit."[33] This leads to the conclusion that a second visit, in between the two canonical epistles, was made, the one usually... read more

14. the third time—See :- to the first Epistle. His second visit was probably a short one ( :-), and attended with humiliation through the scandalous conduct of some of his converts (compare 2 Corinthians 12:21; 2 Corinthians 2:1). It was probably paid during his three years' sojourn at Ephesus, from which he could pass so readily by sea to Corinth (compare 2 Corinthians 1:15; 2 Corinthians 1:16; 2 Corinthians 13:1; 2 Corinthians 13:2). The context here implies nothing of a third preparation... read more

B. Claims made by Paul 11:1-12:18In this section Paul gave further evidence that he possessed apostolic authority to encourage the whole Corinthian church to continue to respond positively to his ministry. Some writers refer to 2 Corinthians 11:1 to 2 Corinthians 12:13 as Paul’s "Fool’s Speech" because of the recurring "foolishness" terminology in this passage (aphrosyne, aphron, paraphron; cf. 2 Corinthians 11:1; 2 Corinthians 11:16 [twice], 17, 19, 23; 2 Corinthians 12:11; 2 Corinthians... read more

5. Paul’s supernatural miracles and paternal love 12:11-18In this pericope Paul concluded his claims to be a genuine apostle by citing the miracles that God had done and the love that He had manifested to the Corinthians through Paul. He did this to dispel any lingering reservations any of his readers might have had concerning his apostolic credentials. read more

Paul was about to return to Corinth another time, his "anticipated visit." [Note: See the chart in the introduction section of these notes.] When he came, he planned to continue his same financial policy with them; he would remain financially independent of them (cf. 1 Corinthians 9:15; 2 Corinthians 11:9; 2 Corinthians 11:12). He wanted their welfare and their affection more than their money. His concerns were also their spiritual maturity (cf. 1 Corinthians 3:1-4) and their complete devotion... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 12:1-21

His Privileges and TrialsThe Apostle unwillingly resumes his boasting and tells of a revelation he received from God; but returns again to dwell on his weaknesses, and especially on his bodily infirmity, through which Christ’s grace was manifested.Paraphrase. ’(1) It is not expedient for me to boast again: I have really been compelled to do it. I will now mention my experiences of divine visions and revelations, (2) Fourteen years ago I experienced such a divine ecstasy that I knew not whether... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Corinthians 12:14

(14) Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you.—The visit to Corinth of Acts 18:1. followed by a long sojourn, may perhaps be reckoned as the first occasion; then came the projected journey from Ephesus to Corinth and thence to Macedonia (2 Corinthians 1:16); now he was preparing for the third journey, announced in 1 Corinthians 16:5-7, from Macedonia to Corinth. (See, however, the Note on 2 Corinthians 13:1.)I seek not your’s, but you.—The words point to the secret motive of the conduct... read more
