13 non enim alia scribimus vobis quam quae legistis et cognoscitis spero autem quod usque in finem cognoscetis

2 Corinthians 1:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 1:13

For we write none other things to you
The things we write unto you concerning our conduct; and behaviour, are no other

than what you read;
not in our letters to you, but in our lives and conversations, when we were among you, and which you must own and acknowledge to be just and right; we can appeal to you, that what we say, and are obliged to say of ourselves, in our own defence, is what, upon a recollection, you will easily remember to have seen and observed:

and I trust;
or "hope", through the grace of God, we shall be enabled so to walk, as that

you shall acknowledge even to the end;
that our conversations are as become the Gospel of Christ, and are clear of that hypocrisy and deceit our adversaries would insinuate concerning us.

2 Corinthians 1:13 In-Context

11 adiuvantibus et vobis in oratione pro nobis ut ex multis personis eius quae in nobis est donationis per multos gratiae agantur pro nobis
12 nam gloria nostra haec est testimonium conscientiae nostrae quod in simplicitate et sinceritate Dei et non in sapientia carnali sed in gratia Dei conversati sumus in mundo abundantius autem ad vos
13 non enim alia scribimus vobis quam quae legistis et cognoscitis spero autem quod usque in finem cognoscetis
14 sicut et cognovistis nos ex parte quia gloria vestra sumus sicut et vos nostra in die Domini nostri Iesu Christi
15 et hac confidentia volui prius venire ad vos ut secundam gratiam haberetis
