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

The Biblical Illustrator - 2 Corinthians 3:7-11
2 Corinthians 3:7-11But if the ministration of death … was glorious The peculiar glory of the gospelI.That contrasted with the law as “the ministration of condemnation” the gospel is the “ministration of righteousness.” That the law was “the ministration of condemnation” will require little proof. The very glory which attended the publication of it struck terror into the beholders. Its unequivocal language was, “the soul that sinneth it shall die” (Exodus 19:16; Hebrews 12:21; Ezekiel 18:4;... read more

2 Corinthians 3:9-11For if the ministration of condemnation be glory.Condemnation and righteousnesshere replace death and life, because it is through condemnation that man becomes the prey of death; and the grace which reigns in him to eternal life reigns through righteousness (Romans 5:21). The contrast of these two words is very significant for Paul’s conception of the gospel: it shows how essential to and fundamental in his idea of righteousness is the thought of acquittal or acceptance with... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Corinthians 3:8
8 How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? Ver. 8. Be rather glorious ] Let this comfort the ministers of the gospel under the contempts cast upon them by the mad world, ever beside itself in point of salvation. See Isaiah 49:5 . read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Corinthians 3:9
9 For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. Ver. 9. Exceed in glory ] A throne was set in heaven, Revelation 4:2 ; not in the mount, as Exodus 25:9 . The pattern of our Church is showed in the heavens themselves, because of that more abundant glory of the gospel above the law. And therefore also John describeth the city far greater and larger than Ezekiel, Revelation 21:16 ; because Ezekiel was a minister of the law,... read more
John Trapp
John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Corinthians 3:10
10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, by reason of the glory that excelleth. Ver. 10. Had no glory ] To speak of, and in comparison. The light of the law was obscured and overcast by the light of the gospel. The sea about the altar was brazen, 1 Kings 7:23 , and what eyes could pierce through it? Now our sea about the throne is glassy,Revelation 4:6; Revelation 4:6 , like to crystal, clearly conveying the light and sight of God in Christ to our eyes. read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - 2 Corinthians 3:7-11
DISCOURSE: 2009THE GLORY OF THE GOSPEL ABOVE THAT OF THE LAW2 Corinthians 3:7-11. If the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away: how shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious? for if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory. For even that... read more
