2 Corintios 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 Corintios 1:11 In-Context

9 De hecho, esperábamos morir; pero, como resultado, dejamos de confiar en nosotros mismos y aprendimos a confiar solo en Dios, quien resucita a los muertos.

10 Efectivamente él nos rescató del peligro mortal y volverá a hacerlo de nuevo. Hemos depositado nuestra confianza en Dios, y él seguirá rescatándonos,

11 y ustedes nos están ayudando al orar por nosotros. Entonces mucha gente dará gracias porque Dios contestó bondadosamente tantas oraciones por nuestra seguridad.

12 Cambio de planes de Pablo
Podemos decir con confianza y con una conciencia limpia que, en todos nuestros asuntos, hemos vivido en santidad
y con una sinceridad dadas por Dios. Hemos dependido de la gracia de Dios y no de nuestra propia sabiduría humana. Esa es la forma en que nos hemos comportado ante el mundo y en especial con ustedes.
