F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 2 Corinthians 7:1-99

2Co 7 WE HAVE THEN these striking promises from the lips of God. If we are separate from the world, and face whatever loss that may involve, we shall find God acting as Father toward us, and we shall enter consciously into the good and sweetness of the relationship in which we are set. Now having such promises we are exhorted (as we open chapter 7) to purify ourselves, and thus perfect holiness in the fear of God. Notice that it says, “from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit.” This is a... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Corinthians 7:13-16

The joy of Titus over the good tidings which he brought: v. 13. Therefore we were comforted in your comfort; yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. v. 14. For if I have boasted anything to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting which I made before Titus is found a truth. v. 15. And his inward affection is more abundant toward you, whilst he remembereth the obedience... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Corinthians 7:5-16

the Joyous Effect of Godly Sorrow 2 Corinthians 7:5-16 After dispatching his first Epistle, with the strong words of 2 Corinthians 5:1-21 and elsewhere, Paul’s tender heart had been rent with anxiety lest the Corinthian church should resent its terms and be alienated from his friendship. But when Titus joined him in Macedonia, bringing the assurance of their deep repentance and unabated affection, he was profoundly comforted and gladdened. He felt also that their sorrow was of the true and... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Corinthians 7:1-16

The section culminates in an appeal full of local coloring and suggestion. In a great cry he gave expression to the hunger of his heart when he wrote, "Make room for us" (see margin). He then declared that he had wronged no man, that he had corrupted no man, that he had taken advantage of no man. Almost afraid lest such a statement should embitter them by creating a sense of shame, as though he would rebuke, he immediately declared that this was not his purpose, and proceeded to emphasize his... read more

The Triumphant Return of Titus And Paul’s Full Reconciliation With The Corinthian Church (2 Corinthians 7:1-16 ) Having searchingly examined their credentials by portraying to them the essence of the new covenant (chapter 3) and the Gospel (chapters 4-5), and having called them to depart from too close a connection with an idolatrous world (chapter 6), and to cleansing and holiness (2 Corinthians 7:1), and having also established his own genuineness, honesty and reliability as an Apostle of... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 7:16

‘I rejoice that in everything I am of good courage concerning you.’ Thus Paul himself rejoices in that he is assured in his heart concerning them in every way. So ends this section of his letter, a combination of rejoicing over their response, which is how it finishes, yet including the clear indication of his fears that nevertheless there was much still to be put right, not mainly in regard to their response to him, although there is some question about some, but with regard to their daily... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 7:5-16

2 Corinthians 7:5-Nehemiah : . Agonising Anxiety has been Cancelled by Abundant Joy.— The cause of his anxiety had been in part the condition of affairs in the church at Corinth, but even more the measures he had taken to deal with it, followed by torturing doubt as to how these would be received by the Corinthians. Someone had behaved outrageously. Someone had been outraged. There can be no doubt that it was Paul who had suffered, though whether he was personally present or what was the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Corinthians 7:1-16

CRITICAL NOTES2 Corinthians 7:1. Therefore.—This verse a branch broken from 2 Corinthians 6:16-18. This word is like the jagged fibres which tell of the violence, and point back to the parent stem. Having.—Observe, the evangelical generalising of the scope of, and ownership in, these Old Testament sentences (see Appended Note). Cleanse ourselves.—“Deliverance from sin, although … God’s work in us, is yet obtained by our own moral effort and our own faith. It therefore depends upon ourselves... read more
