Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Corinthians 5:5-8

2 Corinthians 5:5-8. Now he that hath wrought us for Or to, this longing for immortality; is God For none but God, none less than the Almighty, could have wrought this in us; who also hath given us his Spirit In its various gifts and graces; as an earnest Of our obtaining the heavenly habitation. We are confident, therefore Or courageous in all dangers and sufferings, and dare venture even upon death itself; knowing that while we are at home Or rather sojourn (as ενδημουντες... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 5:1-10

Confidence and courage (5:1-10)Christians receive further encouragement amid daily trials through the knowledge that the present body is only temporary. It is like a tent in which a person lives for a short time, whereas what God has prepared for the future life is a permanent home (5:1).

One day all that is earthly and temporary will be replaced by that which is spiritual and eternal... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 5:1

2 COR. 5In the first paragraph of this chapter, Paul spoke of the spiritual body which is to replace the present earthly body of Christians at the time of the Second Advent and judgment of the last day (2 Corinthians 1:10), and then delivered some of the profoundest teachings in Holy Scripture regarding the ministry of reconciliation, of which Paul, along with the other apostles, was an ambassador (2 Corinthians 1:11-21).For we know that if the earthly house of our tabernacle be dissolved, we... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 5:2

For verily in this we groan, longing to be clothed upon with our habitation which is from heaven.In this we groan ... has reference to mortal infirmity and the increasing burden of years which press more and more upon every earthly life. Paul's own extraordinary hardships and sufferings might have been in view primarily in this place; but, as Kelcy said, "In this body we groan from pains to which flesh is heir."[5] Or, as Filson stated it: "This reflects Paul's desire to be free from the... read more
