your earnest concern: Lit., “your zeal.” The same Greek word is rendered “zeal” at 2Co 7:11. Some scholars feel that the repeated use of the pronoun “your” emphasizes Paul’s conviction that the Corinthians truly felt a deep longing and earnest concern for him. He felt a like concern for them, and they felt similar sorrow over the grief they had caused. Knowing their feelings brought Paul relief and joy.
