2 Corinthians 7:1-17

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Corinthians 7:10

10 For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. Ver. 10. Godly sorrow worketh ] Sin bred sorrow, and sorrow, being right, destroyeth sin; as the worm that breeds in the wood, eats into it and devours it. (Chrysost.) So that of this sorrow according to God we may say as the Romans did of Pompey the Great, that it is the fair and happy daughter of an ugly and odious mother. ( Εχθρου πατρος φιλτατον τεκνον . Plutarch.) It may... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Corinthians 7:11

11 For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter. Ver. 11.

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Corinthians 7:12

12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it not for his cause that had done the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that our care for you in the sight of God might appear unto you. Ver. 12. Not for his cause ] That is, not so much for his cause. That suffered the wrong ] viz. The father of the incestuous person. CompareGenesis 49:4; Genesis 49:4 .

13 Therefore we were comforted in your comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of Titus, because his spirit was refreshed by you all. Ver. 13. His spirit was refreshed ] After his long and tedious toil and travel to come to you, he never thought much of his labour. Calvin said that it would not grieve him to sail over ten seas, Ne decem quidem maria, about a uniform draught for religion. read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Corinthians 7:14

14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which I made before Titus, is found a truth. Ver. 14. I am not ashamed ] As I should have been, had it proved otherwise. Lying is a blushful sin, and therefore the liar denies his own lie, because he is ashamed to be taken with it; and our ruffians revenge it with a stab. read more
