For we are glad, when we are weak, and you are strong: and this also we wish, even your perfection.
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 13:9 Go To 2 Corinthians 13
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
We rejoice that we have not made our power appear in punishing the wicked, and afflicting our enemies; we are glad that we appear to them to be weak; but we are particularly glad, when you live in such a manner as to give us no occasion of reprimanding you, or of exercising our power over you. (St. Chrysostom)
