Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Corinthians 2:13

I had no rest in my spirit - I was disappointed, sad, deeply anxious. Though the work in which I was engaged was that which usually gives me my highest joy, yet such was my anxiety to learn the state of things in Corinth, and the success of my letter, and to see Titus, whom I was expecting, that I had comparatively no peace, and no comfort.But taking my leave of them - Though so many considerations urged me to stay; though there was such a promising field of labor, yet such was my anxiety to... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 2:12-17

Paul’s sincerity in his ministry (2:12-17)Once again Paul states that all his movements were guided by an interest for the Corinthians, not for himself. He was so keen to meet Titus and hear news of the Corinthians that he could not concentrate on his work in Troas. So rather than wait for Titus in Troas he went across to Macedonia, in the hope of meeting him there (12-13).The good news that Titus brought from Corinth leads Paul to an outburst of praise to God. He pictures the preachers of the... read more

How uneasy St. Paul was, and upon what account, see ch. 2 Corinthians 7:5-16. It was not barely for the absence of Titus, but for want of the news he was to bring with him, ch. 2 Corinthians 7:7.

2. The treatment of the offender and the result of the severe letter 2:5-17Paul in this pericope explained his perspective on the encouraging and discouraging experiences of his recent ministry. He did so to let the Corinthians know how he felt about them and to encourage his readers to adopt his attitude toward ministry. "Ministry" was a favorite term of Paul’s. He used it 51 times in its verb and noun forms, and 20 of these occur in 2 Corinthians. Its six appearances in chapters 8 and 9 refer... read more

Paul’s recent journey to Macedonia 2:12-13The reason Paul included the information in these transitional verses appears to have been to help his readers appreciate his anxious concern for their welfare, which Titus was to report to him. It was, further, to explain the reason for his movements. Paul did not leave Troas because he was acting on the emotions of the moment but because he had a deep concern for the Corinthians. This is the last of Paul’s explanations of his recent conduct in this... read more

A. Defense of Paul’s conduct with regard to his promised visit and the offender 1:12-2:17In 2 Corinthians Paul was addressing a situation in which his own children in the faith doubted his sincerity and motives. He, too, had doubts about their commitment to Jesus Christ and to himself as the Lord’s apostle. Nevertheless Paul also voiced some strong convictions in this epistle and sought to move his doubting readers to a condition of greater faith. This section of the epistle introduces this... read more

(b) 2:8-13. The Object and Results of the severe LetterThe Apostle reminds them that to produce this godly sorrow was the object of the letter he wrote before. He then speaks of one man who has caused him pain, asking them to remit the punishment inflicted already and forgive him, and telling them that he had written also to ascertain the extent of their obedience, and that if they were willing to forgive now, so was he. He then relates his anxious desire to hear what had occurred on their... read more
