Bible Question:
Sorry Should read, "How do you know if the "we" stands for Paul and his company alone or all believers?" Peace, |
Bible Answer: The way I see it is for all that are new creatures in Christ. When looked at from it’s context it is speaking about those in verse 17. 2 Cor. 5:17-20 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. [18] And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; [19] To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. [20] Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God. Verse 17 says any man, then verse 18 picks it up with Paul’s inclusion of himself by saying, who hath reconciled us. Verse 19 further includes all in the world that are reconciled, knowing that their sins are not imputed to them, therefore that group is given the word of reconciliation. As a result all that are reconciled are ambassadors for Christ. i.e. we who are saved are to present the message of Jesus to the world. That’s the way I see it, CDBJ |
