2 After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
2 After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence.
2 After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will raise us up, that we may live before him.
2 In a couple of days we'll feel better. By the third day he'll have made us brand-new, Alive and on our feet, fit to face him.
2 After two days He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up, That we may live in His sight.
2 In just a short time he will restore us, so that we may live in his presence.
9 Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.
9 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him.
9 We know that Christ, being raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has dominion over him.
9 We know that when Jesus was raised from the dead it was a signal of the end of death-as-the-end. Never again will death have the last word.
9 knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him.
9 We are sure of this because Christ was raised from the dead, and he will never die again. Death no longer has any power over him.
(Read Romans 6:3-10)
Baptism teaches the necessity of dying to sin, and being as it were buried from all ungodly and unholy pursuits, and of rising to walk with God in newness of life. Unholy professors may have had the outward sign of a death unto sin, and a new birth unto righteousness, but they never passed from the family of Satan to that of God. The corrupt nature, called the old man, because derived from our first father Adam, is crucified with Christ, in every true believer, by the grace derived from the cross. It is weakened and in a dying state, though it yet struggles for life, and even for victory. But the whole body of sin, whatever is not according to the holy law of God, must be done away, so that the believer may no more be the slave of sin, but live to God, and find happiness in his service.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Hosea 6:2
Commentary on Hosea 6:1-3
(Read Hosea 6:1-3)
Those who have gone from God by consent, and in a body, drawing one another to sin, should, by consent and in a body, return to him, which will be for his glory, and their good. It will be of great use for support under afflictions, and to encourage our repentance, to keep up good thoughts of God, and of his purposes and designs concerning us. Deliverance out of trouble should be to them as life from the dead. God will revive them: the assurance of this should engage them to return to him. But this seems to have a further reference to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Let us admire the wisdom and goodness of God, that when the prophet foretold the deliverance of the church out of her troubles, he should point out our salvation by Christ; and now these words are fulfilled in the resurrection of Christ, it confirms our faith, that this is He that should come and we are to look for no other. Here is a precious blessing promised; this is life eternal, to know God. The returns of the favour of God are secured to us as firmly as the return of the morning after a dark night. He shall come to us as the latter and former rain unto the earth, which refreshes it, and makes it fruitful. The grace of God in Christ is both the latter and the former rain; and by it the good work of our fruit-bearing is begun and carried on. And as the Redeemer was raised from the grave, so will He revive the hearts and hopes of all that trust in him. The feeblest glimpse of hope in his word, is a sure earnest of increasing light and comfort, which shall be attended with purifying, comforting grace that makes fruitful.
