Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 7:16

I rejoice that in everything I am of good courage concerning you.The victory had been won; Titus' mission had succeeded; but the problems that remained could be dealt with in confidence. The many were back on the right road; and, with this fundamental achievement, Paul was fully confident of the future of his precious converts at Corinth. Filson spoke of this as "unqualified assurance"; but encouraging words to weak and sinful Christians like those in Corinth could never have been intended to... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Corinthians 7:16

2 Corinthians 7:16. I rejoice therefore, &c.— The address of all this part of the epistle is striking and excellent: this verse in particular finely introduces what he had to say in the following chapter, and is strongly illustrated by ch. 2 Corinthians 9:2-4. Inferences drawn from 2Ci 2 Corinthians 7:6-11.—From the consideration of the different effects of worldly and of religious sorrow here recorded, the Apostle with no less truth than holy art insinuates to the Corinthians, how really... read more

16. therefore—omitted in the oldest manuscripts. The conclusion is more emphatical without it. that I have confidence in you in all things—rather, as Greek, "that in everything I am of good courage concerning (literally, 'in the case of') you," as contrasted with my former doubts concerning you. read more

2.

C. Appeal for restoration of the Corinthians’ confidence in Paul 6:11-7:16The apostle now turned to a direct appeal for the Corinthians to reconcile with him in their hearts."The call for reconciliation with Paul, therefore, stands in parallel with the call for reconciliation with God [2 Corinthians 5:20]. While it would be too much to say that these two forms of reconciliation are equally important, for Paul they are directly linked with one another." [Note: Beverly R. Gaventa, "Apostle and... read more

II. ANSWERS TO INSINUATIONS ABOUT THE SINCERITY OF PAUL’S COMMITMENT TO THE CORINTHIANS AND TO THE MINISTRY 1:12-7:16Second Corinthians is a rather difficult book to outline because it is a very personal letter that flowed from Paul’s heart."Traditionally, Paul’s two letters to Timothy and one to Titus are called ’the Pastorals.’ But 2 Corinthians has a strong claim to be recognized as the Pastoral Epistle par excellence, because it contains not ’pure’ but ’applied’ pastoralia." [Note: Harris,... read more

Paul was now completely confident of the Corinthians’ continuing submissive obedience to him as their spiritual father and apostle. Consequently he proceeded to appeal to them again (2 Corinthians 8:1 to 2 Corinthians 9:15)."This brief verse, indeed, provides a perfect transition to all that follows. It is the delicate pin around which the whole of the epistle pivots." [Note: Ibid., p. 282.] read more

(e) 7:2-16. The Apostle’s Joy in the Corinthians’ repentanceSt. Paul goes on to ask them to give him their affection, and renews his assurance of purity of deed and motive. He tells them of the suspense in which he had awaited their response to his ’severe’ letter, and his joy at the return of Titus with good news. He is now glad that he vexed them by that letter—though he was inclined to regret his action for a time—because of its happy results in their attitude and conduct; and he concludes... read more
