2 Corinthians 7:2-4 - Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible

Bible Comments

2 Corinthians 7:2-4. With 2 Corinthians 7:2 Paul returns to the thought of 2 Corinthians 6:13. Make wide your hearts.. Make room in them for us. The sentences which follow are full of changing emotion, as he indignantly repudiates charges that have been made against him, stays the possible retort that he is condemning the Corinthians, asserts once more the undying fellowship between him and them, and concludes on a triumphant note of confidence and joy.

2 Corinthians 7:2-4

2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.

3 I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.

4 Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.
