2 Corintios 5:21

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 5:18-21

Chapter 16RECONCILIATION.2 Corinthians 5:18-21 (R.V)"IF any man be in Christ," Paul has said, "there is a new creation; he is another man and lives in another world. But the new creation has the same Author as the original one: it is all of God, who reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and gave to us the ministry of reconciliation." It is plain from these last words that "us" does not mean Christians in general, but in the first instance Paul himself. He is a typical example of what it is... read more

Geneva Study Bible - 2 Corinthians 5:21

5:21 For he hath made him [to be] {q} sin for us, who {r} knew no sin; that we might be made the {s} righteousness of God in him.(q) A sinner, not in himself, but by imputation of the guilt of all our sins to him.(r) Who was completely void of sin.(s) Righteous before God, and that with righteousness which is not fundamental in us, but being fundamental in Christ, God imputes it to us through faith. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 5:1-21

Unquestioned certainty as to the future, and present confidence of faith are seen here further developed. "We know" is the proper language of Christianity. "The earthly house of this tabernacle" is of course what is called the "earthen vessel" and "outward man" in chapter 4: that is, our physical body as it is today. There is no cause for alarm if it is dissolved, for it is only intended to be temporary. In fact, it is said (though we are not in present possession of it) that "We have a... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 5:1-21

TRIAL OF PAUL ’S MINISTRY HIS SUFFERINGS (2 Corinthians 4:8-15 ) “Troubled,” “perplexed,” “persecuted,” “cast down” what a story! “Pressed on every side, yet not straitened,” not so hemmed in but that he could still proceed with his work; “perplexed, yet not in despair,” bewildered like a man going in a circle, put to it, yet not utterly put out; “pursued, yet not forsaken,” hunted like a wild animal, yet not abandoned to the foe; “smitten down, yet now destroyed,” thrown to the ground... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - 2 Corinthians 5:1-21

Sustaining Truths 2 Corinthians 5:0 We need truths that can sustain us. Appearances are deceitful. Even in our most poetic moods, life is a struggle, a trial, a tragedy: even when we are in health we are not always just as well as we should like to be. There is a worm at the root of the flower: things do not fall squarely into place: we find in all the action of life a creaking and straining and groaning: nothing is harmonically complete. If that man were in another place the figure would be... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - 2 Corinthians 5:21

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. Volumes might be written, on this most blessed verse of Scripture: and when all the powers of the human mind had been drained, to express everything the imagination could conceive, of blessedness contained in it, numberless things would be left unsaid, and unwritten; so infinitely full are the blissful contents. That Christ, who knew no sin, should be made sin for his people: that he... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 5:21

Him (Christ) who knew no sin, (who had never sinned, nor was capable of sinning) he (God) hath made [4] sin for us. I had translated, with some French translators, he hath made a sacrifice for sin, as it is expounded by St. Augustine and many others, and grounded upon the authority of the Scriptures, in which the sacrifices for sins are divers times called sins, as Osee iv. 8. and in several places in Leviticus, by the Hebrew word Chattat, which signifies a sin, and is translated a victim... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 5:16-21

16-21 The renewed man acts upon new principles, by new rules, with new ends, and in new company. The believer is created anew; his heart is not merely set right, but a new heart is given him. He is the workmanship of God, created in Christ Jesus unto good works. Though the same as a man, he is changed in his character and conduct. These words must and do mean more than an outward reformation. The man who formerly saw no beauty in the Saviour that he should desire him, now loves him above all... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - 2 Corinthians 5:1-99

2Co 5 THERE IS NO real break between chapters 4 and 5, for he passes on to show that if our outward man does perish, and so our earthly tabernacle house be dissolved, we are to have a house of another order which shall be eternal. The thought of what is eternal links these verses together. Eternal things are brought within the sight of our faith. An eternal weight of glory awaits us. And we shall need a resurrection body, which shall be eternal, in order to sustain that eternal weight of... read more
