2 Corinthians Study Notes—Chapter 8New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
-
-
apostles of congregations: Paul uses the Greek word for “apostle” (a·poʹsto·los) in its general sense, which can mean “sent one” or “envoy.” (See study note on Joh 13:16.) The brothers he mentions were sent out as representatives of their respective congregations. Similarly, Paul used the Greek word a·poʹsto·los when speaking about Epaphroditus as an “envoy.” (Php 2:25) Such faithful men were not apostles in the sense of being appointed to serve as one of the Twelve, as Matthias was; nor were they apostles in the sense of being chosen by Christ to serve as apostles to the nations, as Paul was.—See study note on Ac 1:26; see also Ac 9:15; Ro 11:13.
