2 Corinthians 1:21

2 Corinthians 1:21

19 For ^athe Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us—by me, ^bSilvanus, and ^cTimothy—was not Yes and No, ^dbut in Him was Yes.

20 ^aFor all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.

21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and ^ahas anointed us is God,

22 who ^aalso has sealed us and ^bgiven us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.

23 Moreover ^aI call God as witness against my soul, ^bthat to spare you I came no more to Corinth.

24 Not ^athat we have dominion over your faith, but are fellow workers for your joy; for ^bby faith you stand.

Establishes (bebaiwn). Present active participle from bebaiov, firm. An apt metaphor in Corinth where confirmation of a bargain often took place (bebaiwsiv) as Deissmann shows (Bible Studies, p. 109) and as verse II Corinthians 1:22 makes plain.

Anointed (xrisav). From xriw, to anoint, old verb, to consecrate, with the Holy Spirit here as in I John 2:20.
