I rejoice therefore that I have confidence in you in all things.
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 7:16 Go To 2 Corinthians 7
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
I have confidence in you in all things. I dare to speak and act boldly with you, whether in the way of praise or blame. You are always obedient to me, and, therefore, I am bold, and am able to boast of you and think well of you (Chrysostom, Theophylact, Ambrose). Anselm remarks on the prudence of Paul, as of a physician, in curing with the pleasant medicines of consolation and praise the wounds now nearly healed, so that the burning inflicted by his former rebuke might be wholly healed.
