2 Corinthians 1:21 — Community Reflections

2 CORINTHIANS 1:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 0

“Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed us, is God;”

Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us — the Greek stērizō (make firm) is Paul's response to accusations of instability. Stability comes not from human resolve but from divine establishment (theos...ho stērizōn). The anointing (chrisas) recalls Old Testament consecration; Paul and the Corinthians are set apart by God.
