The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Corinthians 6:16
What agreement. The word means "unity of composition." This is the fifth synonym which St. Paul has used in this clause— μετοχὴ κοινωνία συμφώνησις , μερὶς συγκατάθεσις . The verb συγκατάθημι occurs in Luke 23:51 . St. Paul in this chapter shows an almost unwonted command over the Greek language. With idols ( Matthew 6:24 ; 1 John 5:21 ). Ye . "We" is the reading of א , B, D, L. Ewald, without sufficient ground, makes it one of his arguments for regarding this... read more

From among them; i.e. from among the unbelievers. Touch not the unclean thing (Le 2 Corinthians 11:8 , etc.; Isaiah 52:11 ). I will receive you (comp. Ezekiel 20:34 ). These promises to Israel are naturally transferred to the ideal Israel, the Christian Church. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 2 Corinthians 6:18
And will be a Father unto you. These reminiscences are sufficiently near to 2 Samuel 7:8-14 ; Isaiah 43:6 ; Jeremiah 31:9 , to render needless the supposition that they come from any apocryphal book (Ewald) or Jewish hymn (Grotius). Saith the Lord Almighty. The phrase, not elsewhere used by St. Paul, is taken from 2 Samuel 7:8 ( LXX .). The epithet indicates the certain fulfilment of the promises. Pantokrator , for "Almighty," is used in the LXX . for "Lord of sabaoth," and... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:16
And what agreement - (συγκατάθεσις sugkatathesis). Assent, accord, agreement. what putting or laying down together is there? What is there in one that resembles the other?The temple of God - What has a temple of God to do with idol worship? It is erected for a different purpose, and the worship of idols in it would not be tolerated. It is implied here that Christians are themselves the temple of God, a fact which Paul proceeds immediately to illustrate; and that it is as absurd for them to... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:17
Wherefore - Since you are a special people. Since God, the holy and blessed God, dwells with you and among you.Come out from among them - That is, from among idolaters and unbelievers; from a frivolous and vicious world. These words are taken, by a slight change, from Isaiah 3:11. They are there applied to the Jews in Babylon, and are a solemn call which God makes on them to leave the place of their exile, to come out from among the idolaters of that city and return to their own land; see my... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:18
And will be a Father unto you - A father is the protector, counselor, and guide of his children. He instructs them, provides for them, and counsels them in time of perplexity. No relation is more tender than this. In accordance with this, God says, that he will be to his people their protector, counsellor, guide, and friend. He will cherish toward them the feeling of a father; he will provide for them, he will acknowledge them as his children. No higher honor can be conferred on mortals than to... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Corinthians 6:14-16
2 Corinthians 6:14-16. Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers Christians with Jews or heathen, godly persons with the ungodly, spiritual with such as are carnal. The apostle particularly speaks of marriage; but the reasons he urges equally hold against any needless intimacy or society with them. Of the five questions that follow, the three former contain the argument, the two latter the conclusion. For what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness The righteous can have no... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:18
Verse 18 18.I will be a Father unto you. This promise does not occur in one passage merely, but is repeated in various instances. Paul has added it with this view, that a recognition of the great honor to which God has exalted us, might be a motive to stir us up to a more ardent desire for holiness. For when God has restored his Church which he has gathered from profane nations, their redemption is attended with this fruit, that believers are seen to be his sons and daughters It is no common... read more
