Zjv 3:18 - I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.

Verš 7
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
1Kor 13:12 - For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

Verš 10
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
Mt 25:32 - And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:
Rim 14:10 - But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.

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.
