This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Co 1:19. Ὁ γὰρ τοῦ Θεοῦ υἱὸς, Ιἠσοῦς Χριστὸς, for the Son of God, Jesus Christ) who is the principal subject of our discourse. We should observe the joining together of the three appellations, thereby showing forth firmness;[7] as also their position in the natural order; for the first is evidently not the same as the third.-καὶ Σιλουανοῦ, and Silvanus) Luke calls him Silas; Act 15:22 note.-ἀλλὰ ναὶ) but yea pure and unmixed, on our part and yours.-ἐν αὐτῷ, in Himself) Christ preached, i.e. our preaching of Christ became yea in Christ Himself. So the reason assigned [aetiologia, end.] in the following verse is in consonance. All the promises in Christ are yea. Therefore truly also the testimony concerning Christ Himself is yea in Christ.
[7] For “union is strength.”-ED.
