Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 3:1-18

Shall we turn tonight to the third chapter of II Corinthians.Paul the apostle, it seemed, had the detractors to his ministry, men that followed him around seeking to discredit him. There are always those, it seems, who are ready to come in upon another man's work, and to reap the benefits of another man's labor, but aren't really willing to go out and to break fresh ground themselves. Those that endeavor to live off the body of Christ, rather than really developing the body of Christ.The body... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - 2 Corinthians 3:1-18

2 Corinthians 3:1-3 . Do we begin again to commend ourselves? A happy mode of recovery, as though he had slidden unawares into self-applause, when contrasting his ministry with that of false teachers. Or need we, as some others, epistles of commendation to you? Ye are our epistles, living epistles, written in our hearts, and carried in our bosoms wherever we may go. Your wisdom and piety, and all your moral glory as a people, record our fame. We are bold to say that the church at... read more

2 Corinthians 3:12-18Seeing then that we have such hope, we use great plainness of speech The duty of outspokenness on religious questionsTrue religion is very simple and very deep.A s simple as this statement, “God is good”; as deep as life and death. But it has ever been hard for men to receive religion in all its simplicity and in all its depth. They want something they can touch and handle, something to fill the imagination, something with many colours to attract the eye. And human teachers... read more

2 Corinthians 3:18But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image.--Mirrors of Christ1. We should substitute “reflecting” for “beholding.” Christians are represented not as persons looking into a mirror, but as themselves the mirrors. They who uncover their souls to the influence of Christ reflect His glory, and by continuing to do so they attain to that glory. It is as if by some process the image of a person who gazes into a mirror... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Corinthians 3:18

18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. Ver. 18. Are changed ] As the pearl by the often beating of the sunbeams upon it becomes radiant. From glory to glory ] That is, from grace to grace. Fulness of grace is the best thing in glory. Other things, as peace and joy, are but the shinings forth of this fulness of grace in glory. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 3:18

18. Thus emancipated by the spirit of evangelic liberty from the vail upon the heart, (which was also a vail upon the eyes,) we, the free and freshly un-Judaized Christians, with open Or, more accurately, unvailed faces, behold the glory of the Lord. Happier than Israel, to whom even Moses was vailed, we behold the glory of Jesus himself without a vail. Yet not, indeed, as yet, his living person; but his glorious image in the gospel, as in a mirror. The ancient mirror was not ... read more
