This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Among you (πρὸς ὑμᾶς)
Better, as Rev., before. In my relation to you.
Shall bewail (πενθήσω)
Lament with a true pastor's sorrow over the sin.
Many (πολλοὺς)
With special reference to the unchaste.
Sinned - already (προημαρτηκότων)
Rev., heretofore. Only here and 2Co 13:2. The perfect tense denotes the continuance of the sin. Heretofore probably refers to the time before his second visit.
Have not repented (μὴ μετανοησάντων)
The only occurrence of the verb in Paul's writings. Μετάνοια repentance, occurs only three times: Rom 2:4; 2Co 7:9, 2Co 7:10.
Of the uncleanness (ἐπὶ τῇ ἀκαθαρσίᾳ)
Connect with bewail, not with repent. There are no examples in the New Testament of the phrase μετανοεῖν ἐπί to repent over, though such occur in the Septuagint.
Lasciviousness (ἀσελγείᾳ)
See on Mar 7:22.
