Notes

2 Corinthians 7:13–16

The Corinthians welcomed and obeyed Titus, who was Paul's representative. This made Titus fond of them and pleased Paul. The crisis in Corinth ended, and Paul felt confident everything was fine.

2 Corinthians 7:8–13

At first, Paul regretted sending his previous letter (see 2:3–4). Now he does not regret it, realizing the pain was worthwhile. The severe letter led the church in Corinth to repent. They rebuked the offending person—perhaps too strongly (see 2:6–11).
