Rim 14:10 - So then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you despise your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
Ž 62:12 - Truly, the king will rejoice in God: all those who swear by him will be praised, because the mouth of those who speak iniquity has been blocked.

2Kor 5,1 - "Stánok – náš pozemský dom", čiže naše telo.
2Kor 5,2 - "Nebeský príbytok" tu znamená oslávené telo človeka.
2Kor 5,2-4 - Pavol netúži len jednoducho sa zaodiať nebeským príbytkom, čiže mať oslávené telo, ale na svoj pozemský príbytok čiže na smrteľné telo obliecť si nebeský príbytok; inými slovami, chce prejsť do nebeského príbytku osláveného tela bez toho, že by musel prejsť úzkosťami smrti. Je si však vedomý, že to je možné iba pre tých, čo budú ešte živí pri slávnom príchode Ježiša Krista.
2Kor 5,7 - "Nazeranie", t. j. blažené videnie Boha vo večnosti.
2Kor 5,13 - "Strácať rozum", čiže byť bez zmyslov, vo vytržení. Verš je odpoveďou na výčitky jeho protivníkov. Pavlove videnia a extázy (porov. 12, 1) chápali zle, ako prejav šialenstva. Pavol kladie do protikladu toto "šialenstvo" prejavujúce sa v jeho vzťahu k Bohu s múdrosťou v jeho vzťahu ku Korinťanom.
2Kor 5,14 - "Kristova láska" tu znamená aj lásku, ktorou nás miluje Kristus, ale aj lásku, ktorou my milujeme Krista a blížnych. "Všetci zomreli" sebe samým, hriechu alebo Starému zákonu.
2Kor 5,16 - Neznamená to, že by Pavol bol poznal Krista počas jeho pozemského života, ale že to, čo o ňom vedel, bolo vlastne iba ľudským poznaním. Preto Pavol od svojho obrátenia nikoho neposudzuje podľa tela, čiže podľa toho, ako sa kto javí telesným očiam.
2Kor 5,21 - Boh ho "urobil hriechom" tým, že Ježiš vzal na seba hriechy sveta, že sa stal obetou za hriechy.
