2 Corinthians - 2:3 Meaning
“And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.”
King James Version (KJV)
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary
2:1-4 The apostle desired to have a cheerful meeting with them; and he had written in confidence of their doing what was to their benefit and his comfort; and that therefore they would be glad to remove every cause of disquiet from him. We should always give pain unwillingly, even when duty requires that it must be given.
“And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.”
