2 Coríntios 1

2 Coríntios 1

Vincent - Persons (προσώπων). Face is the usual rendering of the word in the New Testament. Even when rendered person the usage is Hebraistic for face. See note on Jas. 2:1. There is no reason for abandoning that sense here. The expression is pictorial; that thanksgiving may be given from many faces; the cheerful countenances being an offering of thanks to God. (2 Corinthians 1) THOUGHT - Notice this wonderful fruit of intercessory prayer -- it leads to giving of thanks by many faces! The corollary thought is that when we ask others for their intercession and experience divine deliverance, we need to remember to relate God's rescue to our interceding brethren so that they might be filled with gratitude and cheerful faces to our great gracious God!
