2 Corinthians 1:24
_ _ Not for that — that is, Not that. “Faith” is here emphatic. He had “dominion” or a right to control them in matters of discipline, but in matters of “faith” he was only a “fellow helper of their joy” (namely, in believing, Romans 15:13; Philippians 1:25). The Greek is, “Not that we lord it over your faith.” This he adds to soften the magisterial tone of 2 Corinthians 1:23. His desire is to cause them not sorrow (2 Corinthians 2:1, 2 Corinthians 2:2), but “joy.” The Greek for “helpers” implies a mutual leaning, one on the other, like the mutually supporting buttresses of a sacred building. “By faith (Romans 11:20) ye stand”; therefore it is that I bestow such pains in “helping” your faith, which is the source of all true “joy” (Romans 15:13). I want nothing more, not to lord it over your faith. |
2 Corinthians 1:24
Not that we have dominion over your faith — This is the prerogative of God alone. But are helpers of your joy — And faith from which it springs. For by faith ye have stood — To this day. We see the light in which ministers should always consider themselves, and in which they are to be considered by others. Not as having dominion over the faith of their people, and having a right to dictate by their own authority what they shall believe, or what they shall do; but as helpers of their joy, by helping them forward in faith and holiness. In this view, how amiable does their office appear! and how friendly to the happiness of mankind! How far, then, are they from true benevolence, who would expose it to ridicule and contempt! |
2 Corinthians 1:24
(15) Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your (a) joy: for by faith ye stand.
(15) He removes all suspicion of arrogance, declaring that he speaks not as a lord to them, but as a servant, appointed by God to comfort them.
(a) He sets the joy and peace of conscience, which God is author of, as opposed to tyrannous fear, and in addition shows the result of the Gospel. |
