Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Corinthians 7:6-7

Paul had felt disheartened (Gr. tapeinos, not clinically depressed) by this syndrome of circumstances. However, he felt greatly encouraged when Titus found him and reported that the Corinthians had responded to his severe letter properly (cf. 2 Corinthians 2:3-4). Paul evidently wrote that letter between 1 and 2 Corinthians. [Note: See the chart in the introduction section of these notes.] Three things turned his spirits around: the arrival of Titus after some delay, Titus’ report of his... 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

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Corinthians 7:7

(7) And not by his coming only.—There was joy, doubtless, in seeing his true son in the faith (Titus 1:1) once again, but the great comfort was found in the news which he brought with him. On the part of the majority, at least, of those who had been present when the Epistle was read, there had been all the feelings which he most desired to rouse—longing to see him as he longed to see them (see Romans 1:11; Philippians 1:8; 1 Thessalonians 3:6; 2 Timothy 1:4, for the meaning of the word), their... read more

Sorrow for Sin 2 Corinthians 7:10 All sorrow for sin is not godly sorrow, and does not always work repentance. Sorrow for sin may issue either in spiritual life or in spiritual death. I. Now there may be many reasons why men sorrow for sin. (1) Some men sorrow for sin because they look upon sin not so much as a crime as a ruin. They think of what they have lost through their sin, and as they look upon their ruin they hate the sin. (52) In the second place, some men grieve over sin because of... read more

Chapter 19REPENTANCE UNTO LIFE.2 Corinthians 7:2-16 (R.V)IN this fine passage St. Paul completes, as far as it lay upon his side to do so, his reconciliation with the Corinthians. It concludes the first great division of his Second Epistle, and henceforth we hear no more of the sinner censured so severely in the First. {2 Corinthians 5:1-21} But see on 2 Corinthians 2:5-11, or of the troubles which arose in the Church over the disciplinary treatment of his sin. The end of a quarrel between... read more
