Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Corinthians 6:4-5

Paul proceeded to describe positively how he had conducted himself to prove that his own reception of God’s grace had not been in vain. He commended and defended his ministry to provide the faithful Corinthians with more ammunition to rebut his critics. Note that he referred to his actions rather than his words. He cited three groups of trials, and there are three kinds of trials in each group. These he prefaced with a claim to patience (steadfast endurance), an extremely important quality in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Corinthians 6:6-7

Paul now named various graces (positive character qualities) that God had produced within him mainly in and through these trials. He moved from external circumstances to internal qualities."Pureness" is single-mindedness as well as moral uprightness."Knowledge" or "understanding" includes understanding of the Christian faith, insight, and sensitivity to God’s will (cf. 1 Peter 3:7)."Patience" is longsuffering with difficult people without retaliation."Kindness" reflects a generous and... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Corinthians 6:5

(5) In stripes . . .—The list becomes more specific. “Stripes” we have seen at Philippi (Acts 16:23), and 2 Corinthians 11:23-24 show that there were other instances. Of “imprisonment?,” that at Philippi is, so far, the only recorded instance (Acts 16:24); but there may well have been others, as in 2 Corinthians 11:23. “Tumults” (the same word as in Luke 21:9) at Antioch in Pisidia (Acts 13:50), Lystra (Acts 14:5-19), Thessalonica (Acts 17:5), Corinth itself (Acts 18:12), and Ephesus (Acts... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - 2 Corinthians 6:6

(6) By pureness . . .—The word may possibly mean “purity of motive” in its widest sense, but the use of the corresponding adjective in 2 Corinthians 11:2; 1 Timothy 5:22; Titus 2:3; 1 Peter 3:2, and, indeed, its general sense elsewhere, is decisive in favour of “purity from sensual sin”—personal chastity. In the general state of morals throughout the empire, and especially in writing to such a city as Corinth, it was natural to dwell on this aspect of the Christian character. (Comp. 1... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - 2 Corinthians 6:1-18

Unreality 2 Corinthians 6:1 The Apostle is here warning us against what we fear is a very common fault in the present day. So many people seem to receive the grace of God, but it has no influence upon their lives, they receive that grace in vain. I want to say a word or two about the importance of sincerity and reality in religion. If we profess to have any religion at all, let us take great care that it is real. By 'real' I mean that which is not base, hollow, formal, counterfeit, sham,... read more
