2 Corintios 7:6 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 7:6

Nevertheless, God that comforteth those that are cast down,
&c.] Or "humble ones": such as are humbled under the afflicting hand of God, and have low and mean apprehensions of themselves; these God looks unto, dwells with, revives their hearts, cheers their drooping spirits, and fills them with comforts; he has been used to do so with such persons; he has raised comfort to them; they may expect it, and the apostle experienced it; and which he refers to God as the author of it, as he had done in the beginning of this epistle, calling him "the God of all comfort"; he was the efficient cause, the means by which it was effected was the coming of Titus:

comforted us by the coming of Titus;
to whom the apostle bore a very great affection, he being his son in a spiritual sense, a companion with him in his travels, and of great usefulness and service in the ministration of the Gospel; so that the very sight of him gave him pleasure; and the more, inasmuch as he had for some time longed to see him, that he might have some account from him of the affairs of this church.

2 Corintios 7:6 In-Context

4 Les tengo mucha confianza y me siento muy orgulloso de ustedes. Estoy muy animado; en medio de todas nuestras aflicciones se desborda mi alegría.

5 Cuando llegamos a Macedonia, nuestro cuerpo no tuvo ningún descanso, sino que nos vimos acosados por todas partes; conflictos por fuera, temores por dentro.

6 Pero Dios, que consuela a los abatidos, nos consoló con la llegada de Tito,

7 y no solo con su llegada sino también con el consuelo que él había recibido de ustedes. Él nos habló del anhelo, de la profunda tristeza y de la honda preocupación que ustedes tienen por mí, lo cual me llenó de alegría.

8 Si bien los entristecí con mi carta, no me pesa. Es verdad que antes me pesó, porque me di cuenta de que por un tiempo mi carta los había entristecido.
