2 Corintios 1:10-24 RVR1960

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Corinthians 1:23

Here is a perfect form of an oath, which is nothing else but a solemn calling of God to witness the truth of what we speak, whether promising or asserting. Those words, upon my soul, also have the force of an imprecation; but it is in a very serious thing: the apostle was deeply charged with levity, for not making good his promise in coming; and because he reasonably presumed, that some amongst them would be difficult to believe the true cause, to gain credit with them, he takes a voluntary... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Corinthians 1:24

Not for that we have dominion over your faith; not (say some) that we pretend or boast of any dominion over you because of your faith, as if upon that account we would be chargeable, and exact monies of you. But their interpretation is better, who think that by these words the apostle removes from himself, and much more from all inferior ministers, any power of imposing upon people to believe any thing, but what God had in his word revealed as the object of faith. He had in the verse before... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Corinthians 1:8-11

CRITICAL NOTES2 Corinthians 1:8.—No certainty as to the “affliction” referred to, whether some outward persecution at Ephesus (query at Ephesus at all?) known to his readers (query that of Romans 16:4; cf. 1 Corinthians 16:9) (“brethren”), or such acute distress about the state of things at Corinth as nearly killed him, and at any rate utterly broke down his health and threatened to interrupt his work. [How little the Acts tell of the life of Paul: cf. chaps. 4, 11, 2 Corinthians 7:5.] Notice,... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Corinthians 1:12-24

CRITICAL NOTES2 Corinthians 1:12. Rejoicing.—stronger and more correct. Cognate word in Romans 5:2-3; Romans 5:11, where notice the varying translation; an exultant, sometimes defiantly exultant, joy. The “rejoicing” looks not backward to 2 Corinthians 1:17, but forward to the “testimony” etc., which occasions it. For.—Q.d. “You will thus pray, and give thanks, for us; we are not yet estranged; I have done, so far as I know, nothing on my part to estrange us.” Notice “holiness,” by a better... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Corinthians 1:23-24

CRITICAL NOTES(N.B.—The paragraph really begins at 2 Corinthians 1:23.)2 Corinthians 1:1. Determined.—As in 1 Corinthians 2:2. For myself.—So R.V., meaning, “For my own sake as well as for yours.” Again.—To be linked with “come” only? (q.d. “To come again, and to have a sorrowful visit”); or with “with sorrow”? (q.d. “a second sorrowful visit,” like a former one). Answer variously given, according as an intermediate visit, unmentioned in the Acts, is not, or is, supposed. Agreed that the visit... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 1:11

2 Corinthians 1:11 I. We must take care we do not hinder. We may hinder by indifference. People who hinder are often people who live at ease. Take care you do not hinder any good work, do not dishearten any workers; if you do not agree with their methods, do your best not to injure their work. II. Nerve yourself to triumph over hindrances. Your life and mine ought to mean conquest. We want victory everywhere, Christ glorified in all our life. The service of Christ never wearies. There is no... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 1:12

2 Corinthians 1:12 Simplicity and Sincerity. I. Simplicity. The word means singleness singleness of mind, purpose, character, life. The opposite of this is duplicity doubleness in speech, behaviour, heart. And the world is full of that, as every one knows. There is a Divine simplicity which we ought to preserve in every part of our life. Most of all should we keep this pure simplicity in the highest part of it in the religious sphere; avoiding, on the one hand, the high phraseology which... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 1:19

2 Corinthians 1:19 I. There is a cry of the soul after certainty and satisfaction. Christ solves the problem of nature. The soul cries in nature. The soul lifts up its painful wail, its note of grief. "In Him is yea." He was and is the brightness of the Father's glory and the express image of His person. As light paints likenesses, so that I may have the express image of a person I have never seen, so Christ is the portrait of God. He suits the personality of God; the octaves of eternity run... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 1:20

2 Corinthians 1:20 (R.V.) God's Certainties and Man's Certitudes. I. Note first God's certainties in Christ. (1) There is the certainty about God's heart. The hopes and shadowy fore-revelations of the loving heart of God are confirmed by the fact of Christ's life and death. (2) In Him we have the certainty of pardon. (3) Again, we have in Christ Divine certainties in regard to life. We have certainties for life in the matter of protection, guidance, supply of all necessity, and the like,... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 1:21

2 Corinthians 1:21 The Anointing which Establishes. I. Notice the deep source of Christian steadfastness. The language of the original, carefully considered, seems to me to bear this interpretation, that the "anointing" of the second clause is the means of the "establishing" of the first, that is to say, that God confers Christian steadfastness of character by the bestowment of the unction of His Divine Spirit. No man will be surely bound to the truth and person of Christ with bonds that cannot... read more
