2 Corintios 7:13

13 Esto nos ha alentado en gran manera.
Además de nuestro propio aliento, nos deleitamos particularmente al ver lo feliz que estaba Tito por la manera en que todos ustedes lo recibieron y lo tranquilizaron.

2 Corintios 7:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 7:13

Therefore we were comforted in your comfort
In the comfortable situation the church was in; not in their grief and sorrow, as a natural passion, but in the effects of it as a godly sorrow; by which it appeared that their repentance was genuine, and that they were clear in the matter that had given so much trouble; and that things had so well succeeded for the welfare and more comfortable estate of the church for the future. The comfortable estate, flourishing condition, and well being of churches, yield great pleasure and consolation to the ministers of the Gospel: the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Ethiopic versions read, "our comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we, for the joy of Titus"; not only the repentance of the Corinthians, and the blessed effects of that, occasioned joy in the apostle; but what added to it, and increased it the more abundantly, was the joy of Titus, which he had been a partaker of during his stay with them:

because his spirit was refreshed by you all;
not by one only, or a few, but by all the members of the church; he was received by them with great respect, provided for in a liberal manner, treated with all humanity and courteousness; and, above all, his mind was eased and filled with an unexpected pleasure, to find them in such an agreeable frame of mind; so sensible of their neglect of duty, so ready to reform, so united in themselves, so affected to the apostle, and so determined to abide by the order, ordinances, and truths of the Gospel, against all false teachers.

2 Corintios 7:13 In-Context

11 ¡Tan solo miren lo que produjo en ustedes esa tristeza que proviene de Dios! Tal fervor, tal ansiedad por limpiar su nombre, tal indignación, tal preocupación, tal deseo de verme, tal celo y tal disposición para castigar lo malo. Ustedes demostraron haber hecho todo lo necesario para corregir la situación.

12 Mi propósito, entonces, no fue escribir acerca de quién causó el daño o quién resultó dañado. Les escribí para que, a los ojos de Dios, pudieran comprobar por sí mismos qué tan leales son a nosotros.

13 Esto nos ha alentado en gran manera.
Además de nuestro propio aliento, nos deleitamos particularmente al ver lo feliz que estaba Tito por la manera en que todos ustedes lo recibieron y lo tranquilizaron.

14 Le dije lo orgulloso que estaba de ustedes, y no me decepcionaron. Siempre les he dicho la verdad, ¡y ahora mi jactancia ante Tito también resultó ser cierta!

15 Ahora él se preocupa por ustedes más que nunca cuando recuerda cómo todos lo obedecieron y cómo lo recibieron con tanto temor y profundo respeto.
