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 Fíjense lo que ha producido en ustedes esta tristeza que proviene de Dios: ¡qué empeño, qué afán por disculparse, qué indignación, qué temor, qué anhelo, qué preocupación, qué disposición para ver que se haga justicia! En todo han demostrado su inocencia en este asunto.

12 Así que, a pesar de que les escribí, no fue por causa del ofensor ni del ofendido, sino más bien para que delante de Dios se dieran cuenta por ustedes mismos de cuánto interés tienen en nosotros.

13 Todo esto nos reanima.Además del consuelo que hemos recibido, nos alegró muchísimo el ver lo feliz que estaba Tito debido a que todos ustedes fortalecieron su espíritu.

14 Ya le había dicho que me sentía orgulloso de ustedes, y no me han hecho quedar mal. Al contrario, así como todo lo que les dijimos es verdad, también resultaron ciertos los elogios que hice de ustedes delante de Tito.

15 Y él les tiene aún más cariño al recordar que todos ustedes fueron obedientes y lo recibieron con temor y temblor.
