Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:1

2 COR. 6Paul here discussed the trials of ambassadors for Christ (2 Corinthians 6:1-10), made a strong emotional appeal to the Corinthians (2 Corinthians 6:11-13), and gave instructions against Christians mixing with the pagans (2 Corinthians 6:14-18).And working together with him we entreat also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. (2 Corinthians 6:1)The words WITH HIM are italicized in the English Revised Version (1885), indicating that they are not a part of the Greek text; and, as... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:2

(For he saith, At an acceptable time I hearkened unto thee, and in a day of salvation did I succor thee: behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation).The passage in Isaiah from which this comes is:Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: I will preserve thee and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth (Isaiah 49:8).This passage was addressed "To the Servant of Jehovah, the type... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:3

Giving no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our ministration be not blamed.Hillyer has a quotation which catches the background of Paul's thought in this place. "There are people who will be glad of an excuse not to listen to the gospel or to take it seriously, and they will look for such an excuse in the conduct of its ministers."[7] It was precisely to avoid giving anyone such an excuse that Paul so strenuously defended his own reputation. No minister can be careless of the opinion that... read more

2 Corinthians 6:1. We then, as workers together with him— As the joint-labourers of God. Doddridge. As instruments employed by God. Heylin. See 1 Corinthians 3:9. Receiving the grace of God in vain, is the same with believing in vain, 1 Corinthians 15:2. That is, receiving the doctrine of the gospel for truth, and professing Christianity, without experiencing its power, and performing what the gospel requires. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:2

2 Corinthians 6:2. For he saith— See on Isaiah 49:8. The Apostle's reasoning is, God, addressing himself in the passage produced from Isaiah to the Messiah, speaks of a limited time, in which the Messiah's petition, speaking more humano, after the manner of men, was welcome to him, and in which he was ready to grant salvation; and behold, now is the accepted time,—now is the precious season, when, by the wonderful favour and goodness of God, complete forgiveness and eternal felicity are freely... read more

3. Resuming the connection with 2 Corinthians 6:1, interrupted by the parenthetical 2 Corinthians 6:2. "Giving no offense" (compare 2 Corinthians 6:2- :), "approving ourselves," and all the other participles down to 2 Corinthians 6:10, are nominatives to "we also entreat you" (2 Corinthians 6:10- :), to show the pains he took to enforce his exhortation by example, as well as precept [ALFORD]. "Offense" would be given, if we were without "patience" and the other qualifications which he therefore... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Corinthians 6:1

Since God appeals to the unsaved through heralds of the gospel (2 Corinthians 5:20), the herald is in that sense a partner with God in His work of bringing people into final reconciliation. Another less likely view is that Paul meant that he labored together with the Corinthians (cf. 2 Corinthians 5:20; 1 Corinthians 3:9). The words "with Him" are not in the Greek text. In this case the objects of their entreaty would be the unsaved. Evangelism is a joint effort of the Lord and His human... read more
