Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Corinthians 5:5

_ _ wrought us — framed us by redemption, justification, and sanctification.

_ _ for the selfsame thing — “unto” it; namely, unto what is mortal of us being swallowed up in life (2 Corinthians 5:4).

_ _ who also — The oldest manuscripts omit “also.”

_ _ earnest of the Spirit — (See on 2 Corinthians 1:22). It is the Spirit (as “the first-fruits”) who creates in us the groaning desire for our coming deliverance and glory (Romans 8:23).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Corinthians 5:1-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Corinthians 5:5

Now he that hath wrought us to this very thing — This longing for immortality. Is God — For none but God, none less than the Almighty, could have wrought this in us.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

2 Corinthians 5:5

Now he that hath (c) wrought us for the selfsame thing [is] God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

(c) He means that first creation, to show us that our bodies were made to this end, that they should be clothed with heavenly immortality.
