2 Corinthians 1:14

Paul’s Sincerity

12 For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience that we conducted ourselves in the world in¹ simplicity and ^agodly sincerity, ^bnot with fleshly wisdom but by the grace of God, and more abundantly toward you.

13 For we are not writing any other things to you than what you read or understand. Now I trust you will understand, even to the end

14 (as also you have understood us in part), ^athat we are your boast as ^byou also are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Sparing the Church

15 And in this confidence ^aI intended to come to you before, that you might have ^ba second benefit—

16 to pass by way of you to Macedonia, ^ato come again from Macedonia to you, and be helped by you on my way to Judea.

As also ye did acknowledge us in part (kaqwv kai epegnwte hmav apo merouv). Gracious acknowledgment (second aorist active indicative of epignwskw) to the original Pauline party (I Corinthians 1:12; I Corinthians 3:4) that he had seemed to care so little for them. And now in his hour of victory he shows that, if he is their ground of glorying, they are his also (cf. I Thessalonians 2:19 f.; Philippians 2:16).
