Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
According to that which is written (kata to gegrammenon). This formula in legal documents in the papyri (Bible Studies, p. 250). Paul makes adaptation of the words in Psalms 95:1.
We also believe (kai hmeiv pisteuomen). Like the Psalmist. And therefore can speak with effect. Otherwise useless.
Shall present us with you (kai parasthsei sun hmin). This shows that Paul was not certain that he would be alive when Jesus comes as has been wrongly inferred from I Corinthians 7:29; I Corinthians 10:11; I Corinthians 15:51.
