4……且将这和好的话语托付了我们。所以我们为基督作了大使,就好像神借我们劝你们一样;我们替基督求你们:要与神和好。
4Paul’s composition in 2 Corinthians 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…” 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. (Life-study of 2 Corinthians, p. 318)
