2 Coríntios 1:14 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 1:14

As also you have acknowledged us in part
This may refer either to the thing known and acknowledged, namely, the integrity of the apostle's conversation, and others; which though they did not know thoroughly and perfectly, yet did in part, and that so far as that they might acquit them from the charge brought against them; or to the persons who knew this, as that there were some in the church of Corinth, a part of them, though not all, who knew and had acknowledged them to be upright and sincere ministers of the word, and had declared that they had reason to rejoice and bless God that ever they heard them: and

that we are your rejoicing:
or "glorying in", or "unto the day of the Lord Jesus": when he shall come to judge the world in righteousness, then they should before him, angels and men, rejoice and glory in this, that they had been blessed with such sincere and faithful ministers, who sought not any worldly advantage, but the glory of Christ, and the salvation of souls:

even as,
adds the apostle,

ye also are ours;
we do now, and so we shall then, rejoice and glory in this, that our labour among you was not in vain, but was blessed for your conversion and edification.

2 Coríntios 1:14 In-Context

12 Porque a nossa glória é esta: o testemunho da nossa consciência, de que em santidade e sinceridade de Deus, não em sabedoria carnal, mas na graça de Deus, temos vivido no mundo, e mormente em relação a vós.

13 Pois outra coisa não vos escrevemos, senão as que ledes, ou mesmo reconheceis; e espero que também até o fim as reconhecereis;

14 como também já em parte nos reconhecestes, que somos a vossa glória, assim vós sereis a nossa no dia do Senhor Jesus.

15 E nesta confiança quis primeiro ir ter convosco, para que recebêsseis um segundo benefício;

16 e por vós passar � Macedônia, e da Macedônia voltar a vós, e ser por vosso intermédio encaminhado � Judéia.
