2 Corintios 5:21

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - 2 Corinthians 5:16-21

The ministry of reconciliation: v. 16. Wherefore, henceforth know we no man after the flesh; yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we Him no more. v. 17. Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature; old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. v. 18. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the, ministry of reconciliation; v. 19. to wit, that God was in Christ,... read more

X.—FURTHER ASSERTION OF THE PURITY OF HIS CONDUCT AND OF ITS PROFOUNDER REASONS. THESE DEPEND UPON HIS RELATION TO CHRIST AND HIS SPECIAL WORK TO MAKE KNOWN GOD’S METHOD OF RECONCILIATION BY CHRIST2 Corinthians 5:11-2111Knowing therefore the terror [fear] of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in four consciences. 12For [om. For]4 we commend not ourselves again unto you, but [we say this to] give you occasion to glory on our behalf,... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - 2 Corinthians 5:20-21

Ambassadors for Christ 2 Corinthians 5:20-21 ; 2 Corinthians 6:1-10 On God’s side the work of reconciliation is complete. Everything has been done and is in readiness to make forgiveness and justifying righteousness possible as soon as a penitent soul asks for them. He only waits for us to make application for our share in the atonement of Calvary. Many as our trespasses have been, they are not reckoned to us, because they were reckoned to Christ. God wants this known, and so from age to... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Corinthians 5:1-21

The vision of the house of God, and the coming at last to the Lord, throws its light on, and explains the value of, the groaning and the burden of the tabernacle, of the period of absence from the Master. "Absent from the body," "at home with the Lord." This reveals the consciousness. No strangeness, no sense of having to keep up an appearance, "at home with the Lord." The passing of all that is strained, and the coming of the perfect ease of naturalness. Surely Paul was right. The affliction... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - 2 Corinthians 5:21

‘SUBSTITUTION’‘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.’ 2 Corinthians 5:21 I cannot understand the mind of that man who can read the Gospel and not see ‘substitution.’ From all eternity Christ had undertaken, in the sovereignty of His grace and love, to become a surety for His people. A surety has two things to do—he has to suffer, in place of the person whom he guarantees, whatever that person would otherwise have endured;... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 5:11-21

God’s Ministry of Reconciliation (2 Corinthians 5:11 to 2 Corinthians 6:2 ). Having spoken of God’s work in the heart through His Spirit, and of the new covenant, followed by the revelation of the Christian’s future by means of the resurrection, Paul now goes back to the basis of it all, man’s reconciliation with God. If men are to know these things that he has described there needs to be a new creation. And man needs to be reconciled to God, a reconciliation which is only found in Christ... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 5:21

‘Him who knew no sin he made sin on our behalf; that we might become the righteousness of God in him.’ And finally he gives the full basis of that reconciliation. It is because the perfect One, the sinless One Who knew no sin (1 Peter 2:22; Hebrews 4:15), was ‘made sin’ for us. Our sin was in some way absorbed by Him. Just as in the Old Testament the offeror laid his hand on the sacrifice indicating that his sin now lay on the sacrifice, so was our sin laid on the greater Sacrifice, to be borne... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 5:20-21

2 Corinthians 5:20 to 2 Corinthians 6:10 . Paul proceeds to expound and apply the relationship between himself and his converts based upon this ministry. He acts in Christ’ s stead when he beseeches men to allow themselves to be reconciled to God. And what Paul did for Christ, God did through Christ. Once more he points to the supreme illustration and proof of God’ s will to reconcile men. He had treated Christ, the “ Son of His love,” though He had no experimental knowledge of sin, as though... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Corinthians 5:21

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin: Christ knew no sin, as he was guilty of no sin; Which of you (saith he, John 8:46) convinceth me of sin? 1 Peter 2:22, He did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth: but God made him to be sin for us. He was numbered with the transgressors, Isaiah 53:12. Our sins were reckoned to him; so as though personally he was no sinner, yet by imputation he was, and God dealt with him as such; for he was made a sacrifice for our sins, a sin... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Corinthians 5:1-21

CRITICAL NOTES2 Corinthians 5:1.—Flow of thought quite continuous from 2 Corinthians 4:18. For (2 Corinthians 4:15).… For (17).… For (2 Corinthians 5:1).… For (2).… For (4).… For (10), etc.; a chain of “fors.” We know.—Partly from having seen the glorified Christ wearing His resurrection body; Paul and the other Apostolic “witnesses of the resurrection” (Acts 1:22) could on this ground all say “we.” [Note how Peter is led from the “putting off” of his own “tabernacle” (cognate word) to the... read more
