2 Corinthians 5:6
_ _ Translate as Greek, “Being therefore always confident and knowing,” etc. He had intended to have made the verb to this nominative, “we are willing” (rather, “well content”), but digressing on the word “confident” (2 Corinthians 5:6, 2 Corinthians 5:7), he resumes the word in a different form, namely, as an assertion: “We are confident and well content.” “Being confident ... we are confident” may be the Hebraic idiom of emphasis; as Acts 7:34, Greek, “Having seen, I have seen,” that is, I have surely seen.
_ _ always — under all trials. Bengel makes the contrast between “always confident” and “confident” especially at the prospect of being “absent from the body.” We are confident as well at all times, as also most of all in the hope of a blessed departure.
_ _ whilst ... at home ... absent — Translate as Greek, “While we sojourn in our home in the body, we are away from our home in the Lord.” The image from a “house” is retained (compare Philippians 3:20; Hebrews 11:13-16; Hebrews 13:14). |
2 Corinthians 5:6
Therefore we behave undauntedly — But most of all when we have death in view; knowing that our greatest happiness lies beyond the grave. |
2 Corinthians 5:6
(3) Therefore [we are] always (d) confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
(3) He concludes something here from verse four, and states it in the following way: "Therefore, seeing that we know by the Spirit that we are strangers so long as we are here, we patiently suffer this delay (for we are now so with God, that we behold him only by faith, and are therefore now absent from him) but so that we aspire and have a longing always to him. Therefore also we behave ourselves in such a way that we may be acceptable to him, both while we live here, and when we go from here to him." (2 Corinthians 5:4)
(d) He calls them "confident" who are always resolved with a quiet and settled mind to suffer any danger at all, not doubting at all that their end will be happy. |
