1 ταυτασ ουν εχοντεσ τασ επαγγελιασ αγαπητοι καθαρισωμεν εαυτουσ απο παντοσ μολυσμου σαρκοσ και πνευματοσ επιτελουντεσ αγιωσυνην εν φοβω θεου 2 χωρησατε ημασ ουδενα ηδικησαμεν ουδενα εφθειραμεν ουδενα επλεονεκτησαμεν 3 ου προσ κατακρισιν λεγω προειρηκα γαρ οτι εν ταισ καρδιαισ ημων εστε εισ το συναποθανειν και συζην 4 πολλη μοι παρρησια προσ υμασ πολλη μοι καυχησισ υπερ υμων πεπληρωμαι τη παρακλησει υπερπερισσευομαι τη χαρα επι παση τη θλιψει ημων 5 και γαρ ελθοντων ημων εισ μακεδονιαν ουδεμιαν εσχηκεν ανεσιν η σαρξ ημων αλλ εν παντι θλιβομενοι εξωθεν μαχαι εσωθεν φοβοι 6 αλλ ο παρακαλων τουσ ταπεινουσ παρεκαλεσεν ημασ ο θεοσ εν τη παρουσια τιτου 7 ου μονον δε εν τη παρουσια αυτου αλλα και εν τη παρακλησει η παρεκληθη εφ υμιν αναγγελλων ημιν την υμων επιποθησιν τον υμων οδυρμον τον υμων ζηλον υπερ εμου ωστε με μαλλον χαρηναι 8 οτι ει και ελυπησα υμασ εν τη επιστολη ου μεταμελομαι ει και μετεμελομην βλεπω γαρ οτι η επιστολη εκεινη ει και προσ ωραν ελυπησεν υμασ 9 νυν χαιρω ουχ οτι ελυπηθητε αλλ οτι ελυπηθητε εισ μετανοιαν ελυπηθητε γαρ κατα θεον ινα εν μηδενι ζημιωθητε εξ ημων 10 η γαρ κατα θεον λυπη μετανοιαν εισ σωτηριαν αμεταμελητον κατεργαζεται η δε του κοσμου λυπη θανατον κατεργαζεται 11 ιδου γαρ αυτο τουτο το κατα θεον λυπηθηναι υμασ ποσην κατειργασατο υμιν σπουδην αλλα απολογιαν αλλα αγανακτησιν αλλα φοβον αλλα επιποθησιν αλλα ζηλον αλλα εκδικησιν εν παντι συνεστησατε εαυτουσ αγνουσ ειναι εν τω πραγματι 12 αρα ει και εγραψα υμιν ουχ εινεκεν του αδικησαντοσ ουδε εινεκεν του αδικηθεντοσ αλλ εινεκεν του φανερωθηναι την σπουδην υμων την υπερ ημων προσ υμασ ενωπιον του θεου 13 δια τουτο παρακεκλημεθα επι δε τη παρακλησει υμων περισσοτερωσ μαλλον εχαρημεν επι τη χαρα τιτου οτι αναπεπαυται το πνευμα αυτου απο παντων υμων 14 οτι ει τι αυτω υπερ υμων κεκαυχημαι ου κατησχυνθην αλλ ωσ παντα εν αληθεια ελαλησαμεν υμιν ουτωσ και η καυχησισ ημων η επι τιτου αληθεια εγενηθη 15 και τα σπλαγχνα αυτου περισσοτερωσ εισ υμασ εστιν αναμιμνησκομενου την παντων υμων υπακοην ωσ μετα φοβου και τρομου εδεξασθε αυτον 16 χαιρω οτι εν παντι θαρρω εν υμιν

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 7:2 John Chrysostom, Homilies on Second Corinthians (Homily XIV)

    Again he raiseth the discourse about love, mitigating the harshness of his rebuke. For since he had convicted and reproached them as being beloved indeed, yet not loving in an equal degree, but breaking away from his love and mixing up with other pestilent fellows; again he softens the vehemence of his rebuke, saying, "Make room for us," that is, …

  2. Quotes verse 7:8–11 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XIV, Chapters 6–7)

    For, behold, this selfsame thing that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you!" Consequently the Stoics may defend themselves by replying, that sorrow is indeed useful for repentance of sin, but that this can have no place in the mind of the wise man, inasmuch as no sin attaches to him of which he could …

  3. Quotes verse 7:10 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily XV)

    This Paul also clearly declared, when he said, "The sorrow of the world worketh death, but godly sorrow worketh repentance unto salvation, not to be repented of." These then He too Himself calls blessed, whose sorrow is of that kind; yet not simply them that sorrow did He designate, but them that sorrow intensely.

  4. Quotes verse 7:5 Augustine of Hippo, The City of God (Book XIV, Chapter 9)

    … spectacle to angels and men, and pressing onwards for the prize of his high calling, --very joyfully do we with the eyes of faith behold him rejoicing with them that rejoice, and weeping with them that weep; though hampered by fightings without and fears within; desiring to depart and to be with Christ; longing to see the Romans, that he …

  5. Quotes verse 7:5 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LIX)

    Declaring this, Paul said, "Without were fightings, within were fears;" and, "In perils among false brethren;" and in his discourse to the Milesians too He said, "Also of you shall some arise speaking perverse things;" and He Himself too said, "The man's foes shall be they of his own household." But when He said, "It must needs be," it is …
