2 Corinthians 2:3
_ _ I wrote this same unto you — namely, that I would not come to you then (2 Corinthians 2:1), as, if I were to come then, it would have to be “in heaviness” (causing sorrow both to him and them, owing to their impenitent state). He refers to the first Epistle (compare 1 Corinthians 16:7; compare 1 Corinthians 4:19, 1 Corinthians 4:21; 1 Corinthians 5:2-7, 1 Corinthians 5:13).
_ _ sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice — that is, sorrow from their impenitence, when he ought, on the contrary, to have joy from their penitent obedience. The latter happy effect was produced by his first Epistle, whereas the former would have been the result, had he then visited them as he had originally proposed.
_ _ having confidence ... that my joy is the joy of you all — trusting that you, too, would feel that there was sufficient reason for the postponement, if it interfered with our mutual joy [Alford]. The communion of saints, he feels confident in them “ALL” (his charity overlooking, for the moment the small section of his detractors at Corinth, 1 Corinthians 13:7), will make his joy (2 Corinthians 2:2) their joy. |
2 Corinthians 2:3
And I wrote thus to you — I wrote to you before in this determination, not to come to you in grief. |

(b) For I trusted that you would immediately take that out of the way which you knew I was discontented with, considering how you are persuaded that my joy is your joy. |

|
- lest:

2 Corinthians 13:1-2 This [is] the third [time] I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. ...
