2 Corinzi 3:4 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 3:4

And such trust have we
This refers to what he had said in the latter end of the foregoing chapter, and the beginning of this; as that they made manifest the savoury knowledge of God and Christ everywhere, and were the sweet savour of Christ to many souls; were sufficient in some measure, through the grace of Christ, to preach the Gospel sincerely and faithfully, and were attended with success, had many seals of their ministry, and particularly the Corinthians were so many living epistles of commendations of the power and efficacy of their ministry; such confidence and firm persuasion of the truth of grace on your souls, and of our being the happy instruments of it, we have

through Christ,
the grace of Christ,

to God-ward:
who is the object of our confidence and hope, and the ground thereof.

2 Corinzi 3:4 In-Context

2 Voi siete la nostra lettera, scritta ne’ cuori nostri, intesa e letta da tutti gli uomini;
3 essendo manifesto che voi siete la lettera di Cristo, amministrata da noi; scritta, non con inchiostro, ma con lo Spirito dell’Iddio vivente; non in tavole di pietra, ma nelle tavole di carne del cuore.
4 Or una tal confidanza abbiamo noi per Cristo presso Iddio.
5 Non già che siamo da noi stessi sufficienti pure a pensar cosa alcuna, come da noi stessi; ma la nostra sufficienza è da Dio;
6 il quale ancora ci ha resi sufficienti ad esser ministri del nuovo patto, non di lettera, ma di spirito; poichè la lettera uccide, ma lo spirito vivifica.
