Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Corinthians 5:7

_ _ we walk — in our Christian course here on earth.

_ _ not by sightGreek, “not by appearance.” Our life is governed by faith in our immortal hope; not by the outward specious appearance of present things [Tittmann, Greek Synonyms of the New Testament]. Compare “apparently,” the Septuagint, “by appearance,” Numbers 12:8. Wahl supports English Version. 2 Corinthians 4:18 also confirms it (compare Romans 8:24; 1 Corinthians 13:12, 1 Corinthians 13:13). God has appointed in this life faith for our great duty, and in the next, vision for our reward [South] (1 Peter 1:8).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on 2 Corinthians 5:1-11.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Corinthians 5:7

For we cannot clearly see him in this life, wherein we walk by faith only: an evidence, indeed, that necessarily implies a kind of "seeing him who is invisible;" yet as far beneath what we shall have in eternity, as it is above that of bare, unassisted reason.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

2 Corinthians 5:7

(For we walk by (e) faith, not by sight:)

(e) Faith, of those things which we hope for, not having God presently in our physical view.
