2 | Strong's context of verse in passage? | 2 Cor 5:14 | DocTrinsograce | 204202 | ||
"There is a metaphor implied in the word constrain [controls in 2 Corinthians 5:14 NASB], denoting that it is impossible but that every one that truly considers and ponders that wonderful love, which Christ has manifested towards us by His death, becomes, as it were, bound to Him, and constrained by the closest tie, and devotes Himself wholly to His service. "If one died for all (v15). This design is to be carefully kept in view -- that Christ died for us, that we might die to ourselves. The exposition is also to be carefully noticed -- that to die to ourselves is to live to Christ; or if you would have it at greater length, it is to renounce ourselves, that we may live to Christ; for Christ redeemed us with this view -- that He might have us under His authority, as His peculiar possession. Hence it follows that we are no longer our own masters. There is a similar passage in Romans 14:7-9. At the same time, there are two things that are here brought forward separately -- that we are dead in Christ, in order that all ambition and eagerness for distinction may be laid aside, and that it may be felt by us no hardship to be made as nothing; and farther, that we owe to Christ our life and death, because He has wholly bound us to Himself." --John Calvin |

Dear Doc, Came across another intreptation since you last wrote me about this... Here goes; The word control in II Corinthians 5:14 can aslo be translated as pushed out. From verses 15-19 Paul talks about who he will recognize, moves on to being a new creature, and then to the reconciliation to Christ. Then concludes this part of his discourse which section of the passage he began in verses 11-13 where he was talking about giving those to whom he preaches and teaches an occaission to be proud of him for doing so. See then down in II Corinithians 5:20,21 where it talks about him being an ambassador for Christ? See also verse 13 where he talks about being beside himself or of sound mind and how that is referring to being made manifest up in verse 11 and giving them an occaison to be proud of Pauls efforts as an apostle? Verse 14 talks in the second half and in verse 15 about the gospel that Paul has been made manifest for (verses 11,12) and that he is being "pushed out" to go preach as an ambassador of Christ (verse 20). What do you think of that interpretation Doc? Respectfuly the hat lady |

Greetings Tam! I like your take on this verse! It agrees with the NIV in that it translates the phrase as 'Christ's love compels us'. What is the appropriate response to the love of Christ that died for all? It is to go to all with the Gospel! The early church father, Mathetes said, "He Himself took on Him the burden of our iniquities, He gave His own Son as a ransom for us, the holy One for transgressors, the blameless One for the wicked, the righteous One for the unrighteous, the incorruptible One for the corruptible, the immortal One for them that are mortal. For what other thing was capable of covering our sins than His righteousness? By what other one was it possible that we, the wicked and ungodly, could be justified, than by the only Son of God? O sweet exchange! O unsearchable operation! O benefits surpassing all expectation! that the wickedness of many should be hid in a single righteous One, and that the righteousness of One should justify many transgressors!" Praise the Lord! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Yep, crack the books, to hit the mark, works every time, glory to God only. II Timothy 4:2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction. Don't ever stop teaching people how to learn Pastor Moran. God Bless, the hat lady |
