G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - 2 Corinthians 4:1-18

Continuing about the ministry, the apostle said, "We faint not," "we have renounced the hidden things of shame," "we preach . . . Christ Jesus as Lord." Hearing, some perish because "the god of this world hath blinded their minds," and that because of "unbelief." The god of this world is able only to blind the minds of the unbelieving. This ministry, so full of triumph for such remarkable reasons, is yet exercised through great tribulation. The treasure is in earthen vessels, and these are... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 4:11

‘For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh.’ There is now a swift movement from ‘dying’ to spiritual ‘dying’ (compare 2 Corinthians 1:9 with 2 Corinthians 1:10). Through their experiences ‘we who live’, that is have spiritual life in Him, are ‘delivered to death’. They are given the opportunity to die to self and sin, to die daily, and this is for Jesus’ sake (compare 2 Corinthians 5:14). This significance... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 4:7-18

2 Corinthians 4:7-Job : . It is true that the splendid character of this ministry is for the present obscured by the earthly and physical conditions under which it is discharged. Paul is conscious that this disability is specially marked in his case. His opponents had probably good reason for saying “ his bodily presence is weak” ( 2 Corinthians 10:10, 1 Corinthians 15:8 *). 2 Corinthians 10 f. refers frequently to “ infirmities,” and specially to the “ thorn in the flesh” ( 2 Corinthians... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Corinthians 4:11

We who are yet alive, as having breath still in our bodies; in another sense we do not live, viz. as life signifies prosperity and happiness; for we are always delivered unto death, that is, under continual threats and dangers of death, so that we have always the sentence of death in ourselves; for Jesus’ sake, for our owning, preaching, and professing Christ, and the doctrine of the gospel. We are not delivered to death for evil doing, nor merely as innocent persons, but for well doing; and... read more

DISCOURSE: 2015THE TRIALS OF CHRISTIANS THE MEANS OF MAGNIFYING THEIR LORD2 Corinthians 4:11. We which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.THAT the Lord Jesus Christ, the eternal Son of God, was the Creator of all things, is readily acknowledged: nor will the assertion, that “without him was not any thing made that was made,” be for a moment disputed by any one who believes the Scriptures: but when the same... read more

Chapter 4Therefore seeing we have this ministry ( 2 Corinthians 4:1 ),What ministry? Pointing people to Jesus Christ. as we have received mercy, we faint not; But [we] have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God ( 2 Corinthians 4:1-2 ).Paul said, "Look, I am not seeking to be crafty. I'm not seeking to give some kind of a... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Corinthians 4:1-18

2 Corinthians 4:1 . Seeing we have this ministry, of grace and reconciliation to a guilty world; the ministry of righteousness, not of condemnation; the ministry of life, and not of death; we have lived in the spirit of our mission, and in full conformity to our calling. If judges and magistrates keep up the dignity of their courts, it will never do for the ambassadors of heaven to lower the style of their address, especially when addressing the enemies of the truth. 2 Corinthians 4:2 . ... read more

2 Corinthians 4:8-12We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed.Trials in the cause of ChristI. The trials encountered in the cause of Christ are sometimes very great. “We are troubled on every side.” The man who is earnestly engaged in any cause in this world will have to encounter trials. The old prophets had theirs; some were insulted, some incarcerated, some martyred. So with John the Baptist, and so with the apostles, so with the confessors, reformers, and revivalists.II. However... read more
