On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

The greatest honour that ever was put upon this world, which is so mean and inconsiderable a part of the universe, was that the Son of God was once in the world; and, as it should engage our affections to things above that there Christ is, so it should reconcile us to our present abode in this world that once Christ was here.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

He was in the world, &c.--The language here is nearly as wonderful as the thought. Observe its compact simplicity, its sonorousness--"the world" resounding in each of its three members--and the enigmatic form in which it is couched, startling the reader and setting his ingenuity a-working to solve the stupendous enigma of Christ ignored in His own world.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

Note, Many who in profession are Christ's own, yet do not receive him, because they will not part with their sins, nor have him to reign over them. (2.) That yet there was a remnant who owned him, and were faithful to him.
