Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Corinthians 1:21

_ _ stablisheth us ... in Christ — that is, in the faith of Christ — in believing in Christ.

_ _ anointed us — As “Christ” is the “Anointed” (which His name means), so “He hath anointed (Greek,chrisas”) us,” ministers and believing people alike, with the Spirit (2 Corinthians 1:22; 1 John 2:20, 1 John 2:27). Hence we become “a sweet savor of Christ” (2 Corinthians 2:15).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Corinthians 1:15-24.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Corinthians 1:21

I say, to the glory of God — For it is God alone that is able to fulfil these promises. That establisheth us — Apostles and teachers. With you — All true believers. In the faith of Christ; and hath anointed us — With the oil of gladness, with joy in the Holy Ghost, thereby giving us strength both to do and suffer his will.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

2 Corinthians 1:21

(13) Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, [is] God;

(13) He attributes the praise of this constancy only to the grace of God, through the Holy Spirit. In addition he concludes that they cannot doubt of his faith and his fellows, without doing injury to the Spirit of God, seeing that they themselves know all this to be true.
