bullet"He confirms that which he spoke about the power of God appearing in his ministry, and he gathers by the mutual relation between the people's faith and the minister's preaching."
bulletFrom Matthew Henry's Commentary.
bullet"The most desirable thing we can ask of God, for ourselves and our friends, is to be kept from sin, that we and they may not do evil."
bulletFrom Wesley's Notes.
bullet"Some translate the words, Jesus Christ is among you; that is, in the church of Corinth; and understand them of the miraculous gifts and the power of Christ which attended the censures of the apostle."
bulletA Thought for the New Year, from The Poor Man's Portions, Robert Hawker, c. 1800.
bullet"See to it then, my soul, that every day, and all the day, you have the love-tokens of each person of the Godhead; for this will make you blessed upon earth, and blessed to all eternity."
bulletFrom the Commentary on the Whole Bible (Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
bullet"Where you are free from fault, there is no scope for its exercise: and this I desire. Far be it from me to use it against the innocent, merely in order to increase my own power."

bullet Commentary, 2 Corinthians 13:11-13, Matt Skinner, Preaching This Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2008.
bullet"Relating this biblical text to the liturgical context is no easy thing. Because the setting is Trinity Sunday, many preachers will feel pressure to call on these verses to prove or explain the doctrine of the Trinity. The results, almost certainly, will not be pretty."
bullet "First Thoughts on Year A Epistle Passages in the Lectionary," Trinity, William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in Australia.
bullet"Paul has expanded a traditional farewell to make it match a situation where community and compassion was largely missing."

bullet "Witchcraft Accusations in 2 Corinthians 10 - 13: Paul in Social Science Perspective," Jerome H. Neyrey, S.J.
bullet"Although the word "witchcraft" may initially sound disturbing, the model reveals typical mythological codes of perception, and allows us to glimpse the inner social dynamics of a group which employs such language and symbols."
bullet"The Fool's Speech and Its Context: Paul's Particular Way of Arguing in 2 Cor 10-13," Jan Lambrecht, Biblica, 2001.
bullet"Paul’s particular way of arguing in 2 Cor 10–13 is visible in the Fool’s Speech (11,22–12,10) as well as in its context."
