This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Co 9:15. Χάρις, thanks) This is the meaning: God has given us τὴν δωρεὰν, the gift, abundance of good things both internal and external, which both is in itself inexpressible, and bears fruits of a corresponding description; comp. 2Co 9:8, etc. (where there is an expression [an attempt to express the abundance of the gift], but its words are not adequate so as to satisfy Paul’s mind), and ch. 2Co 8:9; 2Co 8:1, and the full expression of these fruits, by reason of the copiousness of the topics, has rendered the language itself at the end of the preceding chapter somewhat perplexed. The modus[59] is added, thanks be to God.
[59] See Append. “Modalis Sermo.” Here, the modus accompanying the simple naked proposition is thanksgiving.-ED.
