This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a season, that thou shouldest receive him for ever;
Ver. 15. For perhaps he therefore] God hath a hand in ordering our disorders to his own glory and our good. He teacheth us by our temptations. This made Mr Fox say that his graces did him most hurt, and his sins most good.
He departed for a season] Here the apostle makes the best of an ill matter. Converts are to be gently handled, and their former evil practices not to be aggravated.
