2 Coríntios 1
Henry - And the promises of God in Christ are not yea and nay, but yea and amen...The apostle, having mentioned the stability of the divine promises, makes a digression to illustrate this great and sweet truth, that all the promises of God are yea and amen Vincent on in Him they are yes - The meaning is that how many soever are God’s promises, in Christ is the incarnate answer, “yea!” to the question, “Will they be fulfilled?” (2 Corinthians 1)
2 Coríntios 1
Henry - An earnest (pledge) secures the promise, and is part of the payment. The illumination of the Spirit is an earnest of everlasting life; and the comforts of the Spirit are an earnest of everlasting joy. Note, The veracity of God, the mediation of Christ, and the operation of the Spirit, are all engaged that the promises shall be sure to all the seed, and the accomplishment of them shall be to the glory of God (v. 20) for the glory of his rich and sovereign grace, and never-failing truth and faithfulness.
