This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

2Co 13:13. Ἡ) This prayer corresponds in both epistles. The first epistle, indeed, has also its own conclusion and prayer; but yet because the first epistle is taken up and renewed in many important particulars by the second, this prayer is also suitable to it, and in the very universality of the prayer, the apostle seems also to have had reference to the first epistle.-χάρις, grace) This is mentioned in the first place, for by the grace of Christ we come to the love of the Father. [An admirable testimony to the Holy Trinity.-V. g.]-ἡ ἀγάπη τοῦ Θεοῦ, the love of God) 2Co 13:11.-ἡ κοινωνία, the communion) which has also come to you Gentiles, and which produces harmony.[94]
