On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

And why dost thou that art strong set at nought thy brother that is weak? Why is all this clashing, and contradicting, and censuring, among Christians? We shall all stand before the judgment-seat of Christ, 2 Cor. v. 10 .

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

It is a prophecy, in general, of Christ's dominion; and here very fully applied to the judgment of the great day, which will be the highest and most illustrious exercise of that dominion. Here is a proof of Christ's Godhead: he is the Lord and he is God, equal with the Father.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

As I live - An oath proper to him, because he only possesseth life infinite and independent. It is Christ who is here termed both Lord and God; as it is he to whom we live, and to whom we die.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
