This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
15–24. The rest of this chapter and part of the next are taken up with the Apostle’s defence of himself against a charge of ‘lightness’ (ἐλαφρία), i.e. of not caring for the Corinthians or for his engagements to them. That he is disproving a charge of faithlessness, in having failed to visit them after promising that he would do so, is perhaps not correct. He tells them here that, at the very time when they were suspecting him of neglecting them and treating them lightly, he was intending to pay them a double visit. There is nothing to show that he had promised two visits, or that, until they read this letter, they had ever heard of his project of paying them two visits, although they had heard of his purpose of paying them one.
