2 Corinthians 8:23

23 Whether any do enquire of Titus, he is my partner and fellowhelper concerning you: or our brethren be enquired of, they are the messengers of the churches, and the glory of Christ.

Ver. 23. Messengers ] Gr. apostles, emandati, ambassadors of special and high employment.

The glory of Christ ] So the Church is called "the glory," Isaiah 4:5 ; God’s glory,Isaiah 46:13; Isaiah 46:13 ; a crown of glory, and a royal diadem in the hand of Jehovah,Isaiah 62:3; Isaiah 62:3 ; the throne of God,Exodus 17:16; Exodus 17:16 ; margin ; the throne of glory,Jeremiah 14:21; Jeremiah 14:21 ; the ornament of God, yea, the beauty of his ornament, set in majesty,Ezekiel 7:20; Ezekiel 7:20 . There is not so much of the glory of God (saith one) in all his works of creation and providence, as in one gracious action that a Christian performs.
