Who preached Jesus Christ among the Corinthians according to 2 Corinthians 1:19?
According to 2 Corinthians 1:19, the Son of God, Jesus Christ, was preached among the Corinthians by the apostle speaking as 'me,' together with Silvanus and Timothy. The verse stresses that this preaching was not fickle or 'yea and nay,' but was the true word of God in Him.
Les explains that the apostle is defending his integrity: when he said he would come, he did not speak frivolously or with fickle language. He points to verse 19, where the Son of God, Jesus the Christ, was preached among them 'by us, even by me, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, or Timothy.' That message was not yea and nay; it was not superfluous. Instead, all the promises of God in Christ are yea and amen, to the glory of God. Les notes that whatever the apostle said, he meant every word, and he could put it in concrete. He also sees Ephesians 1 as a parallel regarding God sealing believers and giving the earnest, or down payment, of the Spirit in their hearts.
For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea.
