SEV Biblia, Chapter 7:13

Por tanto, tomamos consolaci�n de vuestra consolaci�n, pero mucho m�s nos gozamos por el gozo de Tito, que haya sido recreado su espíritu por todos vosotros.

---

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 7:13

Verse 13. For the joy of Titus] Titus, who had now met St. Paul in Macedonia, gave him the most flattering accounts of the improved state of the Corinthian Church; and indeed their kind usage of Titus was a full proof of their affection for St. Paul.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 13. Therefore we were comforted in your comfort , etc..] In the comfortable situation the church was in; not in their grief and sorrow, as a natural passion, but in the effects of it as a godly sorrow; by which it appeared that their repentance was genuine, and that they were clear in the matter that had given so much trouble; and that things had so well succeeded for the welfare and more comfortable estate of the church for the future. The comfortable estate, flourishing condition, and well being of churches, yield great pleasure and consolation to the ministers of the Gospel: the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, and Ethiopic versions read, �our comfort: yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we, for the joy of Titus�; not only the repentance of the Corinthians, and the blessed effects of that, occasioned joy in the apostle; but what added to it, and increased it the more abundantly, was the joy of Titus, which he had been a partaker of during his stay with them: because his spirit was refreshed by you all ; not by one only, or a few, but by all the members of the church; he was received by them with great respect, provided for in a liberal manner, treated with all humanity and courteousness; and, above all, his mind was eased and filled with an unexpected pleasure, to find them in such an agreeable frame of mind; so sensible of their neglect of duty, so ready to reform, so united in themselves, so affected to the apostle, and so determined to abide by the order, ordinances, and truths of the Gospel, against all false teachers.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 12-16 - The apostle was not disappointed concerning them, which he signified to Titus; and he could with joy declare the confidence he had in them for the time to come. Here see the duties of a pastor and of his flock; the latter must lighten the troubles of the pastoral office, by respect an obedience; the former make a due return by his care of them, an cherish the flock by testimonies of satisfaction, joy, and tenderness __________________________________________________________________

Vincent's NT Word Studies

13. Were comforted in your comfort (parakeklhmeqa epi th paraklhsei umwn). The best texts place a period after were comforted, transfer the de and (yea) from after ejpi exceedingly the more to directly after ejpi in (your comfort), and instead of your read our. The whole, as Rev., therefore we have been comforted. And in our comfort we joyed the more exceedingly, etc.

In our comfort (epi). In addition to. Stanley, with this comfort before me, I was still more rejoiced, etc.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

7:13 {We joyed the more exceedingly} (perissoterws mallon ecaremen). Double comparative (pleonastic use of mallon, more, with perissoterws, more abundantly) as is common in the _Koin�_ (#Mr 7:36; Php 1:23). {For the joy of Titus} (epi tei carai titou). On the basis of (epi) the joy of Titus who was proud of the outcome of his labors in Corinth. {Hath been refreshed} (anapepautai). Perfect passive indicative of anapauw. Cf. #1Co 16:18 for this striking verb.
