23保罗在二十节所写的话很不寻常。他说“我们……作了大使”,接着就说,“就好像神借我们劝你们一样。”保罗的意思是说,“我们是基督的大使,正在执行和好的工作。这就好像是神借我们劝你们一样。我们与基督是一,也与神是一。基督与我们是一,神也与我们是一。因此,神、基督以及我们使徒都是一。”在新约的职事里,神、基督以及众执事都是一。……神、基督、使徒们,在执行和好的职事上乃是一(哥林多后书生命读经,三七六至三七七页)。
23Paul’s composition in 5:20 is unusual. After saying, “We are ambassadors,” he says, “As God entreats you through us.” Paul seems to be saying, “We are ambassadors of Christ, and we are doing a reconciling work. This is like God entreating you through us. We are one with Christ and one with God. Christ is one with us, and God also is one with us. Therefore, God, Christ, and we, the apostles, are all one.” The ministry of the new covenant is a ministry in which God, Christ, and the ministers are one…God, Christ, and the apostles were one in carrying out the ministry of reconciliation.
