This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
14. ὅτι καύχημα ὑμῶν ἐσμέν. Ye acknowledged us in part, that we are your glorying, or, because we are your glorying: the former is better. See on 2Co 3:14. As distinct from καύχησις (2Co 1:12, 2Co 7:4, &c.), καύχημα is that which is gloried in, the thing boasted of: but S. Paul is not careful to distinguish the two words. By ἀπὸ μέρους he means that not all had been completely won over: comp. Rom 11:25; Rom 15:15; Rom 15:24.

καθάπερ καὶ ὑμεῖς ἡμῶν. Exact reciprocity of feeling between himself and his converts is one of the keynotes of this letter: comp. 2Co 1:7; 2Co 1:11, 2Co 4:15 : ἐν ἴσῃ τέθεικα τάξει ἑαυτὸν καὶ τοὺς μαθητάς (Theodoret).

τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τ. κ. ἡμ. Ἰ. Comp. 1Co 1:8; 1Co 5:5; Php 1:6; Php 1:10; Php 2:16. The words may be taken either with the whole sentence or with the last clause only. They solemnly close the paragraph: comp. 2Co 5:10.
