Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Corinthians 11:14

_ _ is transformed — rather, “transforms himself” (compare Job 1:6); habitually; the first occasion of his doing so was in tempting Eve. “Himself” is emphatical: If their master himself, who is the “prince of darkness,” the most alien to light, does so, it is less marvelous in the case of them who are his servants (Luke 22:54; Ephesians 6:12).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Corinthians 11:5-15.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Corinthians 11:14

2 Corinthians 11:14

(k) By light is meant the heavenly glory, of which the angels are partakers.
