2 Corinthians 6:2

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:2

‘For he says, At an acceptable time I listened to you, And in a day of salvation did I succour you. Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.’ In order to support this urgency he cites Scripture. ‘At an acceptable time I heard you,’ (that is ‘heard and responded’), says God. ‘In the day of My deliverance I succoured you.’ When God’s time came, and come it now had, He would hear and succour those who professed to be His people in order to seek to bring them to... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:1-10

2 Corinthians 5:20 to 2 Corinthians 6:10 . Paul proceeds to expound and apply the relationship between himself and his converts based upon this ministry. He acts in Christ’ s stead when he beseeches men to allow themselves to be reconciled to God. And what Paul did for Christ, God did through Christ. Once more he points to the supreme illustration and proof of God’ s will to reconcile men. He had treated Christ, the “ Son of His love,” though He had no experimental knowledge of sin, as though... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:2

For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: the words here quoted, are taken out of the prophet Isaiah, Isaiah 49:8, according to the Septuagint’s translation. Though some think, that the apostle here doth but accommodate to the spiritual salvation brought in by Christ, a temporal salvation mentioned, and primarily intended; yet the most and best interpreters rather judge that whole chapter in Isaiah to refer to Christ, and that the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Corinthians 6:1-10

CRITICAL NOTESThis chapter wrongly isolated at both ends by the customary division of the book. Connection quite closely continuous between 2 Corinthians 5:20-21 and 2 Corinthians 6:1; as also between 2 Corinthians 6:17-18 and 2 Corinthians 7:1.2 Corinthians 6:1. Workers together.—With whom? Choose between (1) God, and (2) Christ. For (1) is the repeated use of “beseech,” in 2 Corinthians 5:20; 2 Corinthians 6:1; for (2) the “scheme” of the passage (see Homily on 2 Corinthians 5:20), according... read more
