2 for if I make you sorry, then who is he who is making me glad, except he who is made sorry by me?

Matthew Henry's Commentary on 2 Corinthians 2:2

Commentary on 2 Corinthians 2:1-4

(Read 2 Corinthians 2:1-4)

The apostle desired to have a cheerful meeting with them; and he had written in confidence of their doing what was to their benefit and his comfort; and that therefore they would be glad to remove every cause of disquiet from him. We should always give pain unwillingly, even when duty requires that it must be given.
