This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Comforteth (parakalōn). See note on 2Co 1:3-7 for this word.
The lowly (tous tapeinous). See note on Mat 11:29. Literally, low on the ground in old sense (Eze 17:24). Low in condition as here; Jam 1:9. In 2Co 10:1 regarded as abject. In this sense in papyri. “Humility as a sovereign grace is the creation of Christianity” (Gladstone, Life, iii, p. 466).
By the coming (en tēi parousiāi). Same use of parousia as in 1Co 16:7 which see. See also 2Co 7:7; 2Co 10:10.
