But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 2:1 Go To 2 Corinthians 2
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
s12 , 13.—Furthermore, when I came to Troas . . . I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother. S. Jerome (ad Hedibiam) says that Titus was S. Paul"s interpreter, and explained the sublime truths taught by him in Greek worthy of the subject. There was, too, another reason why Paul went to Troas to meet Titus , viz, that he was anxious to hear from Titus , whom he had sent to Corinth, the state of the Church there, before he himself fulfilled his promise of returning thither. Hence, in chap. vii6 , he says that he had been comforted in Macedonia by the arrival of Titus , who brought him word of the sorrow of the Corinthians and of their desire to see him. Titus , however, seems to have reported to Paul that the time was not yet ripe for his return to Corinth. Paul, therefore, postponed his visit to Corinth, and sent on this letter to pave the way for him, to and correct the failings of the Corinthians.
