2 Corinthians 1:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 1:13

For we write none other things to you
The things we write unto you concerning our conduct; and behaviour, are no other

than what you read;
not in our letters to you, but in our lives and conversations, when we were among you, and which you must own and acknowledge to be just and right; we can appeal to you, that what we say, and are obliged to say of ourselves, in our own defence, is what, upon a recollection, you will easily remember to have seen and observed:

and I trust;
or "hope", through the grace of God, we shall be enabled so to walk, as that

you shall acknowledge even to the end;
that our conversations are as become the Gospel of Christ, and are clear of that hypocrisy and deceit our adversaries would insinuate concerning us.

2 Corinthians 1:13 In-Context

11 as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the favor shown us in answer to their prayers.
12 For this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in relation to you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God—not in worldly wisdom, but in the grace of God.
13 For we do not write you anything that is beyond your ability to read and understand. And I hope that you will understand us completely,
14 as you have already understood us in part, that you may boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of our Lord Jesus.
15 Confident of this, I planned to visit you first, so that you might receive a double blessing.
