2 Corinthians 1:20
_ _ Rather, How many soever be the promises of God, in Him is the “yea” (“faithfulness in His word”: contrasted with the “yea and nay,” 2 Corinthians 1:19, that is, inconstancy as to one’s word).
_ _ and in him Amen — The oldest manuscripts read, “Wherefore through Him is the Amen”; that is, In Him is faithfulness (“yea”) to His word, “wherefore through Him” is the immutable verification of it (“Amen”). As “yea” is His word, so “Amen” is His oath, which makes our assurance of the fulfillment doubly sure. Compare “two immutable things (namely, His word and His oath) in which it was impossible for God to lie” (Hebrews 6:18; Revelation 3:14). The whole range of Old Testament and New Testament promises are secure in their fulfillment for us in Christ.
_ _ unto the glory of God by us — Greek, “for glory unto God by us” (compare 2 Corinthians 4:15), that is, by our ministerial labors; by us His promises, and His unchangeable faithfulness to them, are proclaimed. Conybeare takes the “Amen” to be the Amen at the close of thanksgiving: but then “by us” would have to mean what it cannot mean here, “by us and you.” |
2 Corinthians 1:20
For all the promises of God are yea and amen in him — Are surely established in and through him. They are yea with respect to God promising; amen, with respect to men believing; yea, with respect to the apostles; amen, with respect to their hearers. |
2 Corinthians 1:20
(12) For all the promises of God in him [are] yea, and in (u) him Amen, unto the glory of God by (x) us.
(12) Last of all he declares the sum of his doctrine, that is, that all the promises of salvation are sure and ratified in Christ.
(u) Christ is set also forth to exhibit and fulfil them most assuredly, and without any doubt.
(x) Through our ministry. |
