2 Corinthians 13:7 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; I do not desire that when I come I may find objects for my severity, upon whom I may show a proof of Christ in me, by exercising that authority upon them with which Christ hath intrusted me: no, on the contrary, I heartily pray that ye may be holy and blameless, without spot or wrinkle. Not that we should appear approved; neither do I desire this for my own sake, that I may be approved, but I singly desire it for your good. But that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates; that you may do that which is good; and then do you, and let the world, think of me as a reprobate, or what they will.

2 Corinthians 13:7

7 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.
