2 Corinthians 6:2

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 2 Corinthians 6:2

Ver. 2. Now is the accepted time ] He purposely beats upon the το νυν , because opportunity is headlong, and, if once past, irrecoverable. Some are semper victuri, always alive, as Seneca saith, they stand trifling out their time, and so fool away their salvation. God will not always serve men for a sinning stock. Patientia laesa fit furor. Do we therefore as millers and mariners, who take the gale when it cometh, and make use of it, because they have not the wind in a bottle. Now is the... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:1-2

These appeals, in the second person plural, must not be mistaken for exhortations by Paul to the Corinthian Church to be reconciled to God.

Paul quotes it to his readers as proof that the day, the now, is the time for them to avail themselves of that redemption. Heard thee See John 11:41-42, with notes. Day of... read more
