Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 8:24

Show ye therefore unto them in the face of the churches the proof of your love, and of our glorying on your behalf.This line is as stern as anything in 2 Corinthians 10 through the end. When a person has professed love, and the object of such alleged love hurls the challenge to "prove it" in the face of a competent witness just cited, and "before the face of all the churches," there is absolutely nothing "mild" in such a response. It is absolutely incredible that the scholarly efforts to... read more

C. The delegates of the churches 8:16-24Having motivated his readers to finish the collection Paul proceeded to explain the practical steps he had taken to pick up their gift. He wanted the Corinthians to know what to do and what to expect. He gave a letter of commendation (cf. 2 Corinthians 3:1) in which he set forth the credentials of the three delegates who would visit them soon. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Corinthians 8:24

Paul concluded his "letter of commendation" (2 Corinthians 8:16-24) with a warm appeal. He charged his readers to grant these messengers a reception that would demonstrate the Corinthians’ love for Christ, Paul, and the delegates to all the other churches. They were to be openhearted toward them as Paul had urged them to be openhearted toward himself (2 Corinthians 6:11-13). Their warm reception of the messengers would confirm the genuineness of their acceptance of Paul and their positive... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Corinthians 8:24

(24) Wherefore shew ye to them.—In adding “before the churches” (literally, in the face of the churches), St. Paul appeals, as he has done throughout the chapter, to that natural love of praise which takes its place as a legitimate, though it may be, and ought to be, a subordinate, motive for the activity of Christian benevolence. They were not to consider only what he and Titus and the two brethren would think of them. The eyes of the churches were upon them. Probably Philippi, Thessalonica,... read more

The Charm of Christ 2 Corinthians 8:9 I would take the text as showing the God-nature in the self-giving of Christ. I. The Divine Plenitude. 'He was rich' carries us up into the relation of the Son to the Father, and into the wealth He shared as Son with the Father. We have now to try and realise some of the great things which are of the essence of Deity, and to remember that they belonged to the riches of Christ as sharing in the nature of the Godhead. What, then, are the riches of God? (1)... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 8:16-24

Chapter 21THE FRUITS OF LIBERALITY.2 Corinthians 8:16-24; 2 Corinthians 9:1-15 (R.V)THIS long passage has a good many difficulties of detail, for the grammarian and the textual critic. Where it seems necessary, these will be referred to in the notes; but as the large meaning of the writer is hardly affected by them, they need not interrupt the course of exposition. It fails into three parts, which are clearly marked as such in the Revised Version:2 Corinthians 8:16-24, commending to the... read more
