Albert Barnes Commentary 2 Corinthians 3:4

"And such confidence have we through Christ to God-ward:" — 2 Corinthians 3:4 (ASV)

And such trust have we. We have such confidence that we are appointed by God, and that he accepts our work. We have such evidence in the success of our labors—such indisputable proof that God blesses us—that we have trust, or confidence, that we are sent by God and are acknowledged by him in our ministry. His confidence did not rest on letters of introduction from men, but on the evidence of the Divine Presence and the Divine acceptance of his work.

Through Christ. By the agency of Christ. Paul had no success which he did not trace to him; he had no joy of which he was not the source; he had no confidence, or trust in God, of which Christ was not the author; he had no hope of success in his ministry which did not depend on him.

To Godward. Toward God; in regard to God. pros ton Theon. Our confidence relates to God. It is confidence that he has appointed us and sent us out; and confidence that he will still continue to acknowledge and to bless us.
