But I trust that you shall know that we are not counterfeits.
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 13:6 Go To 2 Corinthians 13
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
I trust that we have not fallen from the state in which we were, but that we continue to exercise our ministry and to use the power which he has given us. Though I do not wish to find you guilty of any sins which may oblige me to use this power over you. I rather wish in this respect to have no authority whatever over you, to be as it were an outcast or reprobate, that you may never feel the power that God hath given me for the punishment of the wicked. (St. Chrysostom)
Reprobates. That is, without proof, by having no occasion of shewing our power in punishing you. (Challoner)
