Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 2:12

Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ, and when a door was opened unto me in the Lord, I had no relief for any spirit, because I found not Titus my brother: but taking my leave of them, I went forth into Macedonia.I had no relief ... Paul had gone to Troas after the riot at Ephesus (on his way to Macedonia) as recorded in Acts 20:1; and, from what is said here, it is clear that great opportunities for the gospel strongly inclined Paul to take advantage of those opportunities; but... 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. Instead of, I went thence into Macedonia; some read, I came from thence, &c. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - 2 Corinthians 2:12

12. Paul expected to meet Titus at Troas, to receive the tidings as to the effect of his first Epistle on the Corinthian Church; but, disappointed in his expectation there, he passed on to Macedonia, where he met him at last (2 Corinthians 7:5; 2 Corinthians 7:6; 2 Corinthians 7:7) The history (Acts) does not record his passing through Troas, in going from Ephesus to Macedonia; but it does in coming from that country (Acts 20:6); also, that he had disciples there (Acts 20:7), which accords with... read more

13. no rest in my spirit—rather, "no rest for my spirit" ( :-). As here his "spirit" had no rest; so in :-, his "flesh." His "spirit" under the Holy Spirit, hence, concluded that it was not necessary to avail himself of the "door" of usefulness at Troas any longer. taking . . . leave of them—the disciples at Troas. read more

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

(12) Furthermore, when I came to Troas.—The article, perhaps, indicates the Troad as a district, rather than the city, just as it does in the case of Saron. (See Note on Acts 9:35.) The case of the offender had come in as a parenthesis in 2 Corinthians 2:5-8. He returns to the train of thought which it had interrupted, and continues his narrative of what had passed after he had written the First Epistle. (On Troas, see Notes on Acts 16:8.) A Church had probably been founded in that city by St.... read more
