Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Corinthians 7:1-16

2 Corinthians 7:1 . Having therefore these promises. Our good archbishop Langton is blamed by many critics for separating this verse from the preceding chapter. The great and precious promises of the new covenant are all designed to embolden our approaches to God. If he adopt us, and make us his living temple, then we should resemble him in holiness. This holiness, it would seem, is taught here, both as a progressive, and as an instantaneous work. The first effort towards holiness is the... read more

2 Corinthians 7:2-7Receive us; we have wronged no man.The apostle’s requestI. The ground on which he urged it--viz., that he deserved it.1. It was a simple matter of justice. “We have wronged no man,” etc. The apostle meets the charges against him by an assertion of his innocence, which appealed to their own witness. No one who read those words could doubt whether he was guilty, for there is a certain tone in innocence not easily mistaken. There are some voices that ring true. This reminds us... read more

2 Corinthians 7:6-7Nevertheless, God that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus; and not by his coming only.Comfort for the careworn1. This barometrical subjection to the depressions and upliftings in life is the token of a noble nature and a big human heart. A cold, selfish man, of narrow views and no sympathies, goes on the calm and even tenor of his way. There is a miserable monotony about him. But wherever there is a generous and manly soul, there is a... read more

6 Nevertheless God, that comforteth those that are cast down, comforted us by the coming of Titus; Ver. 6. God that comforteth ] This is a most sweet attribute of God, such as we may profitably plead and produce in prayer. He loves to comfort those that are forsaken of their hopes. He will not crush but cherish that worm Jacob. "He will not break the bruised reed," &c. By the coming of Titus ] Who came very opportunely, even while Paul was writing this Epistle, 2 Corinthians 2:12-13 .... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 7:6

6. Those that are cast down In a word the lowly, whether in spirit, position, or magnitude. And beautiful is the characteristic ascribed here by our apostle’s faith to God; the God that consoles the lowly. Men are apt to fancy that God is too great to mind small things. But inability to care for the very smallest as well as the greatest would not be greatness, but a defect of greatness. God is truly so great, so truly omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent, that he can take as perfect... read more
