Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
my God—his God, however trying the humiliation that was in store for him.

sinned already—before my last coming [BENGEL], that is, before the second visit which he paid, and in which he had much at Corinth to rebuke.
have not repented—shall not have repented [ALFORD].
uncleanness—for example, of married persons (I Thessalonians 4:7).
fornication—among the unmarried.
