Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Corinthians 7:2

_ _ Receive us — with enlarged hearts (2 Corinthians 6:13).

_ _ we have wronged ... corrupter ... defrauded no man — (compare 2 Corinthians 7:9). This is the ground on which he asks their reception of (making room for) him in their hearts. We wronged none by an undue exercise of apostolic authority; 2 Corinthians 7:13 gives an instance in point. We have corrupted none, namely, by beguilements and flatteries, while preaching “another Gospel,” as the false teachers did (2 Corinthians 11:3, 2 Corinthians 11:4). We have defrauded none by “making a gain” of you (2 Corinthians 12:17). Modestly he leaves them to supply the positive good which he had done; suffering all things himself that they might be benefited (2 Corinthians 7:9, 2 Corinthians 7:12; 2 Corinthians 12:13).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Corinthians 7:1-4.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Corinthians 7:2

Receive us — The sum of what is said in this, as well as in the tenth and following chapters. We have hurt no man — In his person. We have corrupted no man — In his principles. We have defrauded no man — Of his property. In this he intimates likewise the good he had done them, but with the utmost modesty, as it were not looking upon it.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

2 Corinthians 7:2

(1) (b) Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.

(1) He returns again from that admonition to his own person, contrasting with them the testimonies both of his faithfulness and also of his continual good will towards them.

(b) Let me have some place among you, that I may teach you.
