2 Corintios 1:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 1:15

And in this confidence I was minded
Being fully persuaded of your affection for me, as having been instrumental in the conversion of many of you, and of your esteem of me as a faithful and upright minister of the word, and of your being my rejoicing in the day of Christ, I was desirous, and had determined, and so promised,

to come to you before;
when I sent my first epistle to you, or before now, or before I went into Macedonia; and what I now say was the sincere intention of my mind; I thought really to have done what I had such an inclination to: and my view in it was,

that you might have a second benefit;
the meaning of which according to some is, first by his letter to them, and then by his presence with them; or as others, one benefit when he should pass by them to Macedonia, and a second, when he should return to them from thence, according to the following verse; or rather, as the first benefit which they received from him, and under his ministry, was their conversion, so this second benefit may design their edification, and establishment in the faith, their growth in grace, and improvement in spiritual knowledge.

2 Corintios 1:15 In-Context

13 Nuestras cartas fueron transparentes, y no hay nada escrito entre líneas ni nada que no puedan entender. Espero que algún día nos entiendan plenamente,

14 aunque por ahora no nos entiendan. Entonces, en el día que el Señor Jesús
regrese, estarán orgullosos de nosotros de la misma manera que nosotros estamos orgullosos de ustedes.

15 Como estaba tan seguro de su comprensión y confianza, quise darles una doble bendición al visitarlos dos veces:

16 primero de camino a Macedonia, y otra vez al regresar de Macedonia.
Luego podrían ayudarme a seguir mi viaje a Judea.

17 Tal vez se pregunten por qué cambié de planes. ¿Acaso piensan que hago mis planes a la ligera? ¿Piensan que soy como la gente del mundo que dice «sí» cuando en realidad quiere decir «no»?
