2 Corinthiens 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 Corinthiens 7:6 In-Context

4 J'ai une grande assurance avec vous; j'ai grand sujet de me glorifier de vous; je suis rempli de consolation; je suis comblé de joie dans toutes nos afflictions.
5 Car, lorsque nous sommes arrivés en Macédoine, notre chair n'a eu aucun repos, au contraire, nous avons été affligés en toutes manières, par des combats au-dehors, et des craintes au-dedans.
6 Mais Dieu, qui console ceux qui sont abattus, nous a consolés par l'arrivée de Tite;
7 Et non seulement par son arrivée, mais aussi par la consolation qu'il a reçue de vous, nous ayant raconté votre ardent désir, vos larmes, votre zèle pour moi; en sorte que ma joie en a été augmentée.
8 Car, bien que je vous aie attristés par ma lettre, je ne m'en repens pas, si même je m'en suis repenti, parce que je vois que cette lettre vous a attristés, bien que pour un peu de temps.
