The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Corinthians 6:5

In stripes . The stripes were of two kinds—from Jewish whips and Roman rods. But of the five scourgings with Jewish whips not one is mentioned in the Acts, and only one of the three scourgings with Roman rods ( Acts 16:23 ). Nothing, therefore, is more clear than that the Acts only furnishes us with a fragmentary and incomplete record, in which, as we gather from the Epistles, either the agonies of St. Paul's lifelong martyrdom are for some reason intentionally minimized, or else (which... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Corinthians 6:6

By pureness; rather, in pureness, as the preposition is the same. He now gives six instances of special gifts and virtues. The "pureness" is not only "chastity," but absolute sincerity ( 1 John 3:3 ; 2 Corinthians 4:2 ; 1 Thessalonians 2:10 ). By knowledge . The knowledge is the true knowledge of the gospel in its fulness ( Ephesians 3:4 ). In his depth of insight into the truth St. Paul was specially gifted. The word gnosis had not yet acquired the fatal connotations which... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:5

In stripes - In this verse, Paul proceeds to specifications of what he had been called to endure. In the previous verse, he had spoken of his afflictions in general terms. In this expression, he refers to the fact that he and his fellow-laborers were scourged in the synagogues and cities as if they had been the worst of people. In 2 Corinthians 11:23-25, Paul says that he had been scourged five times by the Jews, and had been thrice beaten with rods. See the notes on that place.In imprisonments... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:6

By pureness - Paul, having in the previous verses, grouped together some of the sufferings which he endured and by which he had endeavored to commend and extend the true religion, proceeds here to group together certain other influences by which he had sought the same object. The substance of what he here says is, that it had not only been done by sufferings and trials, but by a holy life, and by entire consecration to the great cause to which he had devoted himself. He begins by stating that... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 6:1-13

The power of love (5:11-6:13)Because Paul knows that he is accountable to Christ, he knows what it means to fear the Lord, and this makes him more diligent in his service. God knows that his motives are pure and he trusts that the Corinthians know also (11).In making these statements, Paul is not trying to write a recommendation for himself. He is trying to give his supporters reason to be bold in defending him against those who criticize him (12). They may have seen him display his feelings in... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:5

In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in watchings, in fastings.In stripes ... "These were of two kinds, from Jewish whips, and Roman rods; but of the five scourgings (by the Jews), not one is mentioned in Acts, and only one of the Roman scourgings."[11] In this connection, it is mandatory to understand the New Testament as a very fractional record of all that either Jesus Christ or his apostles did. Any total record would have required more than a library (John 20:30; 21:25).... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:6

In pureness, in knowledge, in longsuffering, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in love unfeigned.Paul's total lack of any classical classification of the things he was mentioning is revealed here by his inclusion of the Holy Spirit in a list of the Spirit's gifts. This has so frustrated some commentators that they have rendered it "a spirit that is holy."[15]In pureness ... The primary meaning of this would be "chastity," especially in a place like Corinth; but the sincerity and integrity of the... read more
