Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
suffer--rather, as the Greek is the same as in Ti2 2:10, "If we endure (with Him)" (Rom 8:17).
reign with him--The peculiar privilege of the elect Church now suffering with Christ, then to reign with Him (see on Co1 6:2). Reigning is something more than mere salvation (Rom 5:17; Rev 3:21; Rev 5:10; Rev 20:4-5).
deny--with the mouth. As "believe" with the heart follows, Ti2 2:12. Compare the opposite, "confess with thy mouth" and "believe in thine heart" (Rom 10:9-10).
he also will deny us-- (Mat 10:33). |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
If we suffer, we shall also reign with him - The meaning is, that the members will be treated as the Head is. We become united with him by faith, and, if we share his treatment on earth, we shall share his triumphs in heaven; see the notes at Rom 8:17.
If we deny him, he also will deny us; - see the notes at Mat 10:32-33. |
| Vincent's Word Studies, by Marvin R. Vincent [1886] |
If we suffer we shall also reign with him (εἰ ὑπομένομεν, καὶ συνβασιλεύσομεν)
For suffer, rend. endure. Συνβασιλεύειν to reign with, only here and Co1 4:8. Comp. Luk 19:17, Luk 19:19; Luk 22:29, Luk 22:30; Rom 5:17; Rev 4:4; Rev 5:10; Rev 22:5.
If we deny him he also will deny us (εἰ ἀρνησόμεθα. κἀκεῖνος ἀρνήσεται ἡμᾶς)
The verb Po. Him must be supplied. The meaning of the last clause is, will not acknowledge us as his own. Comp. Luk 9:26; Mat 10:33. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| If we deny him - To escape suffering for him. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| If we suffer - with him - These are other parts of the true doctrine, which the apostle mentions above. |
33 But [1161] whosoever [3748] shall [302] deny [720] me [3165] before [1715] men [444], him [846] will I also [2504] deny [720] before [1715] my [3450] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772].
9 That [3754] if [1437] thou shalt confess [3670] with [1722] thy [4675] mouth [4750] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], and [2532] shalt believe [4100] in [1722] thine [4675] heart [2588] that [3754] God [2316] hath raised [1453] him [846] from [1537] the dead [3498], thou shalt be saved [4982].
10 For [1063] with the heart [2588] man believeth [4100] unto [1519] righteousness [1343]; and [1161] with the mouth [4750] confession is made [3670] unto [1519] salvation [4991].
12 If [1487] we suffer [5278], we shall [4821] also [2532] reign with [4821] him: if [1487] we deny [720] him, he also [2548] will deny [720] us [2248]:
4 And [2532] I saw [1492] thrones [2362], and [2532] they sat [2523] upon [1909] them [846], and [2532] judgment [2917] was given [1325] unto them [846]: and [2532] I saw the souls [5590] of them that were beheaded [3990] for [1223] the witness [3141] of Jesus [2424], and [2532] for [1223] the word [3056] of God [2316], and [2532] which [3748] had [4352] not [3756] worshipped [4352] the beast [2342], neither [3777] his [846] image [1504], [2532] neither [3756] had received [2983] his mark [5480] upon [1909] their [846] foreheads [3359], or [2532] in [1909] their [846] hands [5495]; and [2532] they lived [2198] and [2532] reigned [936] with [3326] Christ [5547] a thousand [5507] years [2094].
5 But [1161] the rest [3062] of the dead [3498] lived [326] not [3756] again [326] until [2193] the thousand [5507] years [2094] were finished [5055]. This [3778] is the first [4413] resurrection [386].
10 And [2532] hast made [4160] us [2248] unto our [2257] God [2316] kings [935] and [2532] priests [2409]: and [2532] we shall reign [936] on [1909] the earth [1093].
21 To him [846] that overcometh [3528] will I grant [1325] to sit [2523] with [3326] me [1700] in [1722] my [3450] throne [2362], even [2504] as [5613] I also [2504] overcame [3528], and [2532] am set down [2523] with [3326] my [3450] Father [3962] in [1722] his [846] throne [2362].
17 For [1063] if [1487] by one man's [1520] offence [3900] death [2288] reigned [936] by [1223] one [1520]; much [4183] more [3123] they which receive [2983] abundance [4050] of grace [5485] and [2532] of the gift [1431] of righteousness [1343] shall reign [936] in [1722] life [2222] by [1223] one [1520], Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].)
2 Do ye [1492] not [3756] know [1492] that [3754] the saints [40] shall judge [2919] the world [2889]? and [2532] if [1487] the world [2889] shall be judged [2919] by [1722] you [5213], are ye [2075] unworthy [370] to judge [2922] the smallest matters [1646]?
17 And [1161] if [1487] children [5043], then [2532] heirs [2818]; heirs [2818] of God [3303] [2316], and [1161] joint-heirs [4789] with Christ [5547]; if so be [1512] that we suffer with [4841] him, that [2443] we may be [4888] also [2532] glorified together [4888].
10 Therefore [1223] [5124] I endure [5278] all things [3956] for [1588] the elect's [1588] sakes [1223], that [2443] they [846] may [5177] also [2532] obtain [5177] the salvation [4991] which [3588] is in [1722] Christ [5547] Jesus [2424] with [3326] eternal [166] glory [1391].
32 Whosoever [3956] [3748] therefore [3767] shall confess [3670] [1722] me [1698] before [1715] men [444], [1722] him [846] will I confess [3670] also [2504] before [1715] my [3450] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772].
33 But [1161] whosoever [3748] shall [302] deny [720] me [3165] before [1715] men [444], him [846] will I also [2504] deny [720] before [1715] my [3450] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772].
17 And [1161] if [1487] children [5043], then [2532] heirs [2818]; heirs [2818] of God [3303] [2316], and [1161] joint-heirs [4789] with Christ [5547]; if so be [1512] that we suffer with [4841] him, that [2443] we may be [4888] also [2532] glorified together [4888].
33 But [1161] whosoever [3748] shall [302] deny [720] me [3165] before [1715] men [444], him [846] will I also [2504] deny [720] before [1715] my [3450] Father [3962] which [3588] is in [1722] heaven [3772].
26 For [1063] whosoever [3739] [302] shall be ashamed [1870] of me [3165] and [2532] of my [1699] words [3056], of him [5126] shall [1870] the Son [5207] of man [444] be ashamed [1870], when [3752] he shall come [2064] in [1722] his own [846] glory [1391], and [2532] in his Father's [3962], and [2532] of the holy [40] angels [32].
5 And [2532] there shall be [2071] no [3756] night [3571] there [1563]; and [2532] they need [5532] no [3756] candle [3088] [2192], neither [2532] light [5457] of the sun [2246]; for [3754] the Lord [2962] God [2316] giveth [5461] them [846] light [5461]: and [2532] they shall reign [936] for [1519] ever [165] and ever [165].
10 And [2532] hast made [4160] us [2248] unto our [2257] God [2316] kings [935] and [2532] priests [2409]: and [2532] we shall reign [936] on [1909] the earth [1093].
4 And [2532] round about [2943] the throne [2362] were four [5064] and [2532] twenty [1501] seats [2362]: and [2532] upon [1909] the seats [2362] I saw [1492] four [5064] and [2532] twenty [1501] elders [4245] sitting [2521], clothed [4016] in [1722] white [3022] raiment [2440]; and [2532] they had [2192] on [1909] their [846] heads [2776] crowns [4735] of gold [5552].
17 For [1063] if [1487] by one man's [1520] offence [3900] death [2288] reigned [936] by [1223] one [1520]; much [4183] more [3123] they which receive [2983] abundance [4050] of grace [5485] and [2532] of the gift [1431] of righteousness [1343] shall reign [936] in [1722] life [2222] by [1223] one [1520], Jesus [2424] Christ [5547].)
30 That [2443] ye may eat [2068] and [2532] drink [4095] at [1909] my [3450] table [5132] in [1722] my [3450] kingdom [932], and [2532] sit [2523] on [1909] thrones [2362] judging [2919] the twelve [1427] tribes [5443] of Israel [2474].
29 And I [2504] appoint [1303] unto you [5213] a kingdom [932], as [2531] my [3450] Father [3962] hath appointed [1303] unto me [3427];
19 And [1161] he said [2036] likewise [2532] to him [5129], Be [1096] thou [4771] also [2532] over [1883] five [4002] cities [4172].
17 And [2532] he said [2036] unto him [846], Well [2095], thou good [18] servant [1401]: because [3754] thou hast been [1096] faithful [4103] in [1722] a very little [1646], have [2192] thou authority [2468] [1849] over [1883] ten [1176] cities [4172].
8 Now [2235] ye are [2075] full [2880], now [2235] ye are rich [4147], ye have reigned as kings [936] without [5565] us [2257]: and [2532] I would to God [3785] [1065] ye did reign [936], that [2443] we [2249] also [2532] might reign with [4821] you [5213].
