2 Coríntios 1:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 1:11

You also helping together by prayer for us
Though the apostle ascribes their deliverance solely to God, as the author and efficient cause of it; yet he takes notice of the prayers of the saints for them, as helping causes or means of their obtaining it. It was a very laudable practice in the churches, and worthy of imitation, to pray for the ministers of the Gospel, and especially when under affliction and persecution; see ( Acts 12:5 ) , and the prayers of those righteous ones were heard by God, and often effectual for the deliverance of them, as they were in the present case: for

by the means of many persons,
who wrestled together in prayer with God,

the gift
of deliverance from so great a death, which the apostle looked upon as a wonderful mercy, (carisma) , "a free grace gift", was "bestowed upon" them, which was granted for this end,

that thanks may be given by many on our behalf;
which is but reasonable, and ought to be observed; for since many were concerned in asking for, and obtaining the mercy, they ought to join in thanksgiving for it: and the apostle's view in this is to stir them up to a joint acknowledgment of the deliverance with them, which better became them than to side with the false apostles in their charge against him.

2 Coríntios 1:11 In-Context

9 portanto já em nós mesmos tínhamos a sentença de morte, para que não confiássemos em nós, mas em Deus, que ressuscita os mortos;
10 o qual nos livrou de tão horrível morte, e livrará; em quem esperamos que também ainda nos livrará,
11 ajudando-nos também vós com orações por nós, para que, pela mercê que por muitas pessoas nos foi feita, por muitas também sejam dadas graças a nosso respeito.
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;
