This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
18. ἀνέπαυσαν γὰρ τὸ ἐμὸν πνεῦμα καὶ τὸ ὑμῶν. This ‘is a concise expression of the same consciousness of identity of feelings and interests which expresses itself so strongly in 2Co 1:3-7.’ Stanley. These Corinthians are reinvigorated, through a perfect interchange of sympathy, by the joy that is imparted to St Paul by the presence of one of their number. For the expression itself Stanley refers to 2Co 7:13, and Meyer to Phm 1:7; Phm 1:20.
ἐπιγινώσκετε. See again 1Th 5:12, cited on 1Co 16:15. ἐπιγινώσκετε here, like εἴδεναι there, relates to the due recognition of the value and importance of the position and work of such persons as are here referred to. ‘Schätzet sie hoch,’ Meyer, i.e. prize them highly.
