2 Corinthians 5:14 “For the love of Christ constraineth us.”

Paul says he is gripped by the love of Christ; that is why he acts as he does. Men may call him mad or sober, but he does not care; there is only one thing he is living for, and that is to persuade men of the judgment seat of God, and of the love of Christ. This abandon to the love of Christ is the one thing that bears fruit in the life, and it will always leave the impression of the holiness and of the power of God, never of our personal holiness. – Oswald Chambers

哥林多后书 5:14 “基督的爱催促我们。”

保罗说他被基督的爱所抓住；这就是他行为如此的原因。人们可能称他为疯子或清醒，但他不在乎；他生活的唯一目的就是去说服人们认识上帝的审判座，以及基督的爱。这种对基督之爱的完全投入，是生命中唯一能结出果实的东西，它总会留下上帝的圣洁与大能的印记，而不是我们个人的圣洁。——奥斯瓦尔德·钱伯斯
