2 Corinthians 7:11
_ _ Confirmation of 2 Corinthians 7:10 from the Corinthians’ own experience.
_ _ carefulness — solicitude, literally, “diligence”; opposed to their past negligence in the matter.
_ _ in you — Greek “for you.”
_ _ yea — not only “carefulness” or diligence, but also “clearing of yourselves,” namely, to me by Titus: anxiety to show you disapproved of the deed.
_ _ indignation — against the offender.
_ _ fear — of the wrath of God, and of sinning any more [Sclater and Calvin]; fear of Paul [Grotius], (1 Corinthians 4:2, 1 Corinthians 4:19-21).
_ _ vehement desire — longing for restoration to Paul’s approval [Conybeare and Howson]. “Fear” is in spite of one’s self. “Longing desire” is spontaneous, and implies strong love and an aspiration for correction [Calvin]. “Desire” for the presence of Paul, as he had given them the hope of it (1 Corinthians 4:19; 1 Corinthians 16:5) [Grotius and Estius].
_ _ zeal — for right and for God’s honor against what is wrong. Or, “for the good of the soul of the offender” [Bengel].
_ _ revenge — Translate, “Exacting of punishment” (1 Corinthians 5:2, 1 Corinthians 5:3). Their “carefulness” was exhibited in the six points just specified: “clearing of themselves,” and “indignation” in relation to themselves; “fear” and “vehement desire” in respect to the apostle; “zeal” and “revenge” in respect to the offender [Bengel]; (compare 2 Corinthians 7:7).
_ _ In all — the respects just stated.
_ _ clear — Greek, “pure,” namely, from complicity in the guilty deed. “Approved yourselves,” Greek, “commended yourselves.” Whatever suspicion of complicity rested on you (1 Corinthians 5:2, 1 Corinthians 5:6) through your former remissness, you have cleared off by your present strenuousness in reprobating the deed. |
2 Corinthians 7:11
How great diligence it wrought in you — Shown in all the following particulars. Yea, clearing of yourselves — Some had been more, some less, faulty; whence arose these various affections. Hence their apologizing and indignation, with respect to themselves; their fear and desire, with respect to the apostle; their zeal and revenge, with respect to the offender, yea, and themselves also. Clearing of yourselves — From either sharing in, or approving of, his sin. Indignation — That ye had not immediately corrected the offender. Fear — Of God's displeasure, or lest I should come with a rod. Vehement desire — To see me again. Zeal — For the glory of God, and the soul of that sinner. Yea, revenge — Ye took a kind of holy revenge upon yourselves, being scarce able to forgive yourselves. In all things ye — As a church. Have approved yourselves to be pure — That is, free from blame, since ye received my letter. |
