Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Corinthians 13:4

_ _ though — omitted in some of the oldest manuscripts; then translate, “For He was even crucified,” etc.

_ _ through weaknessGreek, “from weakness”; that is, His assumption of our weakness was the source, or necessary condition, from which the possibility of His crucifixion flowed (Hebrews 2:14; Philippians 2:7, Philippians 2:8).

_ _ byGreek, “from”; “owing to.”

_ _ the power of God — the Father (Romans 1:4; Romans 6:4; Ephesians 1:20).

_ _ weak in him — that is, in virtue of our union with Him, and after His pattern, weakness predominates in us for a time (exhibited in our “infirmities” and weak “bodily presence,” 2 Corinthians 10:10; 2 Corinthians 12:5, 2 Corinthians 12:9, 2 Corinthians 12:10; and also in our not putting into immediate exercise our power of punishing offenders, just as Christ for a time kept in abeyance His power).

_ _ we shall live with him — not only hereafter with Him, free from our present infirmities, in the resurrection life (Philippians 3:21), but presently in the exercise of our apostolic authority against offenders, which flows to us in respect to you from the power of God, however “weak” we now seem to you. “With Him,” that is, even as He now exercises His power in His glorified resurrection life, after His weakness for a time.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Corinthians 13:1-6.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Corinthians 13:4

He was crucified through weakness — Through the impotence of human nature. We also are weak with him — We appear weak and despicable by partaking of the same sufferings for his sake. But we shall live with him — Being raised from the dead. By the power of God in you — By that divine energy which is now in every believer, 2 Corinthians 13:5.
