13 Por tanto, tomamos consolación de vuestra consolación, pero mucho más nos gozamos por el gozo de Tito, que haya sido recreado su espíritu por todos vosotros

2 Corintios 7:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 7:13

Therefore we were comforted in your comfort
In the comfortable situation the church was in; not in their grief and sorrow, as a natural passion, but in the effects of it as a godly sorrow; by which it appeared that their repentance was genuine, and that they were clear in the matter that had given so much trouble; and that things had so well succeeded for the welfare and more comfortable estate of the church for the future. The comfortable estate, flourishing condition, and well being of churches, yield great pleasure and consolation to the ministers of the Gospel: the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Ethiopic versions read, "our comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we, for the joy of Titus"; not only the repentance of the Corinthians, and the blessed effects of that, occasioned joy in the apostle; but what added to it, and increased it the more abundantly, was the joy of Titus, which he had been a partaker of during his stay with them:

because his spirit was refreshed by you all;
not by one only, or a few, but by all the members of the church; he was received by them with great respect, provided for in a liberal manner, treated with all humanity and courteousness; and, above all, his mind was eased and filled with an unexpected pleasure, to find them in such an agreeable frame of mind; so sensible of their neglect of duty, so ready to reform, so united in themselves, so affected to the apostle, and so determined to abide by the order, ordinances, and truths of the Gospel, against all false teachers.

2 Corintios 7:13 In-Context

11 Porque he aquí esto mismo, que según Dios fuisteis contristados, ¿cuánta solicitud ha obrado en vosotros? ¡Qué defensa, qué enojo, qué temor, qué (gran) deseo, qué celo, y qué vindicación! En todo os habéis mostrado limpios en el asunto

12 Así que, aunque os escribí, no fue solamente por causa del que hizo la injuria, ni por causa del que la padeció, sino también para que os fuera manifiesta nuestra solicitud que tenemos por vosotros delante de Dios

13 Por tanto, tomamos consolación de vuestra consolación, pero mucho más nos gozamos por el gozo de Tito, que haya sido recreado su espíritu por todos vosotros

14 Y si algo me he gloriado para con él de vosotros, no he sido avergonzado; sino que así, como todo lo que habíamos dicho de vosotros era con verdad, así también nuestra gloria delante de Tito fue hallada verdadera

15 Y sus entrañas son más abundantes para con vosotros, cuando se acuerda de la obediencia de todos vosotros, y de cómo lo recibisteis con temor y temblor
