2 Corinthians 11:4
_ _ if, etc. — which in fact is impossible. However, if it were possible, ye might then bear with them (see on 2 Corinthians 11:1). But there can be no new Gospel; there is but the one which I first preached; therefore it ought not to be “borne” by you, that the false teachers should attempt to supersede me.
_ _ he that cometh — the high-sounding title assumed by the false teachers, who arrogated Christ’s own peculiar title (Greek, Matthew 11:3, and Hebrews 10:37), “He that is coming.” Perhaps he was leader of the party which assumed peculiarly to be “Christ’s” (2 Corinthians 10:7; 1 Corinthians 1:12); hence his assumption of the title.
_ _ preacheth ... receive — is preaching ... ye are receiving.
_ _ Jesus — the “Jesus” of Gospel history. He therefore does not say “Christ,” which refers to the office.
_ _ another ... another — Greek, “another Jesus ... a different Spirit ... a different Gospel.” Another implies a distinct individual of the same kind; different implies one quite distinct in kind.
_ _ which ye have not received — from us.
_ _ spirit ... received ... gospel ... accepted — The will of man is passive in RECEIVING the “Spirit”; but it is actively concurrent with the will of God (which goes before to give the good will) in ACCEPTING the “Gospel.”
_ _ ye might well bear with him — There would be an excuse for your conduct, though a bad one (for ye ought to give heed to no Gospel other than what ye have already heard from me, Galatians 1:6, Galatians 1:7); but the false teachers do not even pretend they have “another Jesus” and a “different Gospel” to bring before you; they merely try to supplant me, your accredited Teacher. Yet ye not only “bear with” them, but prefer them. |
2 Corinthians 11:4
If indeed — Any could show you another Saviour, a more powerful Spirit, a better gospel. Ye might well bear with him — But this is impossible. |
2 Corinthians 11:4
(2) For if he that cometh preacheth (e) another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or [if] ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with [him].
(2) He shows that they deceive themselves, if they look to receive from any other man, either a more excellent Gospel, or more excellent gifts of the Holy Spirit.
(e) A more perfect doctrine of Jesus Christ. |
