This is not mere intellectual assent but a confident understanding rooted in faith. Paul speaks from a place of certainty, encouraging believers to hold fast to the truths of the Gospel. This knowledge is foundational to the Christian hope, emphasizing that faith is not blind but informed by the reality of Christ's resurrection.the One who raised This phrase refers to God the Father, the divine power behind the resurrection of Jesus. The Greek word "ἐγείραντα" (egeiranta) is used, which means to awaken or raise up. This highlights God's sovereign power over life and death, a central tenet of Christian belief. The resurrection is a testament to God's ability to bring life from death, a promise extended to all believers.the Lord Jesus "Κύριον Ἰησοῦν" (Kyrion Iēsoun) is the Greek phrase used here, affirming both the divinity and humanity of Jesus. "Lord" signifies His divine authority and sovereignty, while "Jesus" refers to His incarnation and earthly ministry. This dual recognition is crucial for understanding the nature of Christ as both God and man, the mediator of the new covenant.will also raise us The future tense here, "καὶ ἡμᾶς ἐγερεῖ" (kai hēmas egerei), assures believers of their future resurrection. This promise is not just for the apostles but for all who are in Christ. It reflects the hope of eternal life and the transformation that awaits believers, reinforcing the continuity between Christ's resurrection and the believer's future resurrection.with Jesus The phrase "σὺν Ἰησοῦ" (syn Iēsou) emphasizes the union believers have with Christ. This union is both spiritual and eschatological, meaning that just as Christ was raised, so too will His followers be raised. It speaks to the intimate relationship between Christ and His church, a relationship that transcends death.and present us The Greek word "παραστήσει" (parastēsei) means to stand beside or present. This indicates a future event where believers will be brought into the presence of God. It suggests a formal presentation, akin to being introduced to a king, highlighting the honor and privilege of being in God's presence.with you Paul includes his readers in this promise, using "σὺν ὑμῖν" (syn hymin) to express the communal aspect of salvation. The Christian journey is not solitary; it is shared with fellow believers. This phrase underscores the unity and fellowship within the body of Christ, a theme prevalent throughout Paul's letters.in His presence The Greek "ἐνώπιον αὐτοῦ" (enōpion autou) conveys the idea of being before the face of God. This is the ultimate goal of the Christian life—to be in the presence of God, fully reconciled and glorified. It speaks to the fulfillment of God's redemptive plan, where believers will experience the fullness of joy and peace in His presence for eternity.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/2_corinthians/4.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(14) Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus . . .--From his present experience of the triumph of life over death he passes to the future victory of which that triumph was the earnest. It is clear that he speaks here not of any deliverance from danger or disease, but of the resurrection of which he had spoken so fully in 1 Corinthians 15. The better MSS. give with Jesus, the Received text having apparently originated in a desire to adapt the words to the fact that Christ had already risen. St. Paul's thoughts, however, dwell so continually on his fellowship with Christ that he thinks of the future resurrection of the body, no less than of the spiritual resurrection which he has already experienced (<a href="/ephesians/2-6.htm" title="And has raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:">Ephesians 2:6</a>), as not only wrought by Him but associated with Him; and in this hope of his he includes the Corinthians to whom he writes. It will then be seen, he trusts, that "life" has indeed been "working" in them. The verb "present," as describing the work of Christ, and, we may add, his own work as a minister of Christ, under this aspect, is a favourite one with St. Paul (<a href="/2_corinthians/11-2.htm" title="For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.">2Corinthians 11:2</a>; <a href="/ephesians/5-27.htm" title="That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.">Ephesians 5:27</a>; <a href="/colossians/1-22.htm" title=" In the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and blameless and unreproveable in his sight:">Colossians 1:22</a>).<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/2_corinthians/4.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 14. - Which raised up the Lord Jesus (see <a href="/1_corinthians/6-14.htm">1 Corinthians 6:14</a>). Shall raise up us also. The thought is again expressed in <a href="/romans/8-11.htm">Romans 8:11</a>. As he is here alluding mainly to the resurrection from the dead, it is clear that he contemplated the possibility of dying before Christ's second coming (comp. <a href="/1_thessalonians/4-15.htm">1 Thessalonians 4:15</a>). By Jesus. The reading supported by nearly all the best manuscripts is "with Jesus" (א, B, C, D, E, F, G), which perhaps appeared unsuitable to the copyists. But Christians are "risen with Christ" here (<a href="/colossians/2-12.htm">Colossians 2:12</a>; <a href="/colossians/3-1.htm">Colossians 3:1</a>); and in another sense also we rise with him, because the Church is "the body of Christ" (<a href="/1_corinthians/15-23.htm">1 Corinthians 15:23</a>). Shall present us with you. So St. Jude speaks of "God our Saviour" as able "to present us" before the presence of his glory (<a href="/jude/1-24.htm">Jude 1:24, 25</a>). <a href="/commentaries/2_corinthians/4-14.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>knowing εἰδότες (eidotes) Verb - Perfect Participle Active - Nominative Masculine Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_1492.htm">Strong's 1492: </a> To know, remember, appreciate. that ὅτι (hoti) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_3754.htm">Strong's 3754: </a> Neuter of hostis as conjunction; demonstrative, that; causative, because. the [One who] ὁ (ho) Article - Nominative Masculine Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> The, the definite article.
