2 Corinthians 1:22 - People's Commentary (NT)

2 Corinthians 1:22

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.

II Corinthians 1:22 Sealed us. The seal was anciently the mark of ownership. In Ephesians 1:13 4:30, it is said that the saints are sealed by the Holy Spirit. They are thus marked as Christ's. So here the sealing is by the "earnest of the Spirit".
