Gill's Notes on the Bible
But I determined with myself,.... The apostle having removed the charge of levity and inconstancy brought against him, goes on to excuse his delay in coming to them, and to soften the severity, which some thought too much, he had used in his former epistle: he determined with himself, he took up a resolution within his own breast some time ago, says he,
that I would not come again to you in heaviness; that he would not come with sorrow and heaviness, bewailing their sins not repented of, and by sharp reproofs and censures, which in such a case would be necessary, be the cause of grief and trouble to them; wherefore he determined to wait their repentance and amendment before he came again. The word "again", may be connected with the phrase "in heaviness"; and the sense be, that in his former epistle, which was a sort of coming to them, he made them heavy and sorry, by sharply rebuking them for some disorders that were among them; and since it has been a settled point with him, that he would not come in heaviness again: or with the word "come"; and then the meaning is, as his first coming among them was to the joy of their souls, so it was a determined case with him, that his second coming should not be with grief, either to them or himself, or both; and this is the true reason why he had deferred it so long.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
But I determined this with myself - I made up my mind on this point; I formed this resolution in regard to my course.
That I would not come again to you in heaviness - In grief (ἐνη λύπ enē lup). “I would not come, if I could avoid it, in circumstances which must have grieved both me and you. I would not come while there existed among you such irregularities as must have pained my heart, and as must have compelled me to resort to such acts of discipline as would be painful to you. I resolved, therefore, to endeavor to remove these evils before I came, that when I did come, my visit might be mutually agreeable to us both. For that reason I changed my purpose about visiting you, when I heard of those disorders, and resolved to send an epistle. If that should be successful, then the way would be open for an agreeable visit to you.” This verse, therefore, contains the statement of the principal reason why he had not come to them as he had at first proposed. It was really from no fickleness, but it was from love to them, and a desire that his visit should be mutually agreeable, compare the notes, 2 Corinthians 1:23.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
CHAPTER II.
The apostle farther explains the reasons why he did not pay his
intended visit to the Corinthians, 1.
And why he wrote to them in the manner he did, 2-5.
He exhorts them also to forgive the incestuous person, who had
become a true penitent; and therefore he had forgiven him in
the name of Christ, 6-11.
He mentions the disappointment he felt when he came to Troas in
not meeting with Titus, from whom he expected to have heard an
account of the state of the Corinthian Church, 12, 13.
Gives thanks to God for the great success he had in preaching
the Gospel, so that the influence of the name of Christ was
felt in every place, 14.
Shows that the Gospel is a savour of life to them that believe,
and of death to them that believe not, 15, 16.
And that he and his brethren preached the pure, unadulterated
doctrine of God among the people, 17.
NOTES ON CHAP. II.
Verse 2 Corinthians 2:1. But I determined this — The apostle continues to give farther reasons why he did not visit them at the proposed time. Because of the scandals that were among them he could not see them comfortably; and therefore he determined not to see them at all till he had reason to believe that those evils were put away.
