Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 14. - Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction; rather, as R.V., ye had fellowship with my affilction. St. Paul values the sympathy, the fellow-feeling, more than the gifts; he could have done without the gifts, but they were precious as a proof of love.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(14) Ye have well done.--Properly, Ye did well, in sending the offerings. In this, says St. Paul, they "did communicate with his affliction," that is (see Philippians 1:7), they made it their own, helping him to bear it, by sympathy and sacrifice for his sake. The whole is an illustration of his own words (Acts 20:35), "It is blessed to receive" what is lovingly given; but it is "rather blessed to give." He had the lower blessedness, they the higher; and he rejoiced that it was so.
