SYNOPSIS OF THE CHAPTER i. The Apostle goes on to remind the Corinthians of the glories of heaven, saying that in exile here and in the tabernacle of the flesh he longs for them, and wishes to be absent from the body and present with the Lord. ii. He shows (ver9) that it is his endeavour to please not men but Christ alone, who shall come to judgment. iii. He declares (ver14) that he is constrained to do this by the love of Christ, who has reconciled us by His death; and therefore that he no longer knows any one according to the flesh, but only him who is a new creature in Christ. iv. He professes himself (ver18) to be a minister and ambassador of Christ, and he prays them to be reconciled to God for Christ"s sake.
