Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 4. - Boldness of speech. St. Paul feels that he may address them with perfect frankness and openness (2 Corinthians 3:12). My glorying of you. "My boasting on your account" (2 Corinthians 1:14; 2 Corinthians 5:12; 2 Corinthians 8:14; comp. 1 Corinthians 1:4-7). I am filled with comfort. "I have been filled with the consolation." "Consolation" is the word which occurs so frequently in 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4. I am exceeding joyful. "I superabound in my joy" (2 Corinthians 2:2-14). In all our tribulation. The clause belongs to both the preceding clauses. Joy in the very midst of affliction was an essentially Christian blessing (Philippians 2:17). "Thou shalt have joy in sadness soon;The pure calm hope be thineWhich brightens the Eastern moon,When day's wild lights decline." (See 2 Corinthians 6:10; Galatians 5:22; Romans 14:17; John 15:11.)

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(4) Great is my boldness of speech.--The context shows that he is not apologising for bold and plain speaking, but uses the word as implying confidence (1Timothy 3:13; Philemon 1:8). He can speak without reticence now, because he is going to express his comfort and joy at what had been reported to him.I am exceeding joyful.--Literally, I exceedingly abound (or, overflow) in joy. The verb is the same as in Romans 5:20, and answers to the "pressed above measure" which he had used in 2Corinthians 1:8, in speaking of his troubles.
