2 Corinthians 5:11
_ _ terror of the Lord — the coming judgment, so full of terrors to unbelievers [Estius]. Ellicott and Alford, after Grotius and Bengel, translate, “The fear of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 7:1; Ecclesiastes 12:13; Acts 9:31; Romans 3:18; Ephesians 5:21).
_ _ persuade — Ministers should use the terrors of the Lord to persuade men, not to rouse their enmity (Jude 1:23). Bengel, Estius, and Alford explain: “Persuade men” (by our whole lives, 2 Corinthians 5:13), namely, of our integrity as ministers. But this would have been expressed after “persuade,” had it been the sense. The connection seems as follows: He had been accused of seeking to please and win men, he therefore says (compare Galatians 1:10), “It is as knowing the terror (or fear) of the Lord that we persuade men; but (whether men who hear our preaching recognize our sincerity or not) we are made manifest unto God as acting on such motives (2 Corinthians 4:2); and I trust also in your consciences.” Those so “manifested” need have no “terror” as to their being “manifested (English Version, ‘appear’) before the judgment-seat” (2 Corinthians 5:10). |

(i) That terrible judgment. |
