Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Corinthians 13:6

_ _ we ... not reprobates — not unable to abide the proof to which ye put us (2 Corinthians 13:6). “I trust that” your own Christianity will be recognized by you (observe, “ye shall know,” answers to “know your own selves,” 2 Corinthians 13:5) as sufficient “proof” that ye are not reprobates, but that “Christ speaks in me,” without needing a proof from me more trying to yourselves. If ye doubt my apostleship, ye must doubt your own Christianity, for ye are the fruits of my apostleship.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Corinthians 13:1-6.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Corinthians 13:6

And I trust ye shall know — By proving yourselves, not by putting my authority to the proof.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

2 Corinthians 13:6

(3) But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.

(3) He appeases that sharpness, trusting that they will show themselves towards their faithful apostle, able and willing to be taught. And he also adds this, that he does not seek his own fame and estimation, so that they may serve their saviour, which is the only mark that he shoots at.
