2 Corinthians 7:16 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 7:16

I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all
things.
] That I can speak freely and boldly to you, reprove, admonish, and advise you, since you take it all in good part, as I design it; that I can confidently speak in your favour, boast of your love and obedience, which is found upon trial and by experience to be truth; and that I can promise myself every good thing from you, that is proper to ask of you, and lies in your power to perform; which he says partly to commend them for their past conduct, and partly to pave the way for what he had to say to them, concerning making a collection for the poor saints.

2 Corinthians 7:16 In-Context

14 And if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I have not been put to shame: but as we have spoken all things to you in truth, so also our boasting that was made to Titus is found a truth.

15 And his bowels are more abundantly towards you: remembering the obedience of you all, how with fear and trembling you received him.

16 I rejoice that in all things I have confidence in you.
