For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 4:5 Go To 2 Corinthians 4
Gregory of Nyssa
AD 394
And the apostle: “For we preach not ourselves but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves merely as your servants in Jesus.” Knowing, then, the fruits of humility and the penalty of conceit, imitate the Master by loving one another and do not shrink from death or any other punishment for the good of each other. But the way which God entered upon for you, do you enter upon for him, proceeding with one body and one soul to the invitation from above, loving God and each other. For love and fear of the Lord are the first fulfillment of the law. .
