2 Corinthians 1:13

13 We don't write anything to you except what you can read and also understand. I hope that you will understand totally

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 since you are helping with your prayer for us. Then many people can thank God on our behalf for the gift that was given to us through the prayers of many people.
12 We have conducted ourselves with godly sincerity and pure motives in the world, and especially toward you. This is why we are confident, and our conscience confirms this. We didn't act with human wisdom but we relied on the grace of God.
13 We don't write anything to you except what you can read and also understand. I hope that you will understand totally
14 since you have already understood us partly. Understand that in the day of our Lord Jesus, we will make you proud as you will also make us proud.
15 Because I was sure of this, I wanted to visit you first so that you could have a second opportunity to see me.
