Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Corinthians 1:22

_ _ sealed — A seal is a token assuring the possession of property to one; “sealed” here answers to “stablisheth us” (2 Corinthians 1:21; 1 Corinthians 9:2).

_ _ the earnest of the Spirit — that is, the Spirit as the earnest (that is, money given by a purchaser as a pledge for the full payment of the sum promised). The Holy Spirit is given to the believer now as a first installment to assure him his full inheritance as a son of God shall be his hereafter (Ephesians 1:13, Ephesians 1:14). “Sealed with that Holy Spirit of promise which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession” (Romans 8:23). The Spirit is the pledge of the fulfillment of “all the promises” (2 Corinthians 1:20).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Corinthians 1:15-24.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Corinthians 1:22

Who also hath sealed us — Stamping his image on our hearts, thus marking and sealing us as his own property. And given us the earnest of his Spirit — There is a difference between an earnest and a pledge. A pledge is to be restored when the debt is paid; but an earnest is not taken away, but completed. Such an earnest is the Spirit. The first fruits of it we have Romans 8:23; and we wait for all the fulness.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

2 Corinthians 1:22

Who hath also sealed us, and given the (y) earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.

(y) An earnest is whatever is given to confirm a promise.
