2 Coríntios 6:8-10 NVT

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - 2 Corinthians 6:10

GOD’S INSTRUMENTS‘Poor, yet making many rich.’ 2 Corinthians 6:10 An instrument is valued for what it accomplishes, and not for its accidental richness in material. A steel pen or quill that will write well is better than a gold one which will not write at all; a poor reed or pipe that gives music than a stately and costly structure that only looks like an organ. We are meant to be instruments in God’s hand, and our worth is measured by the work we do. I. The casket may be poor, and yet... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:3-10

As Workers Together With God Paul Now Further Cites Their Own Credentials As Those Who Share In The Sufferings of Christ (2 Corinthians 6:3-10 ) The following description of their genuineness and of all that they are going through for Christ continues the thought of 2 Corinthians 6:1, 2 Corinthians 6:2 having been a slight digression to press home the fact of the urgency of his plea. This would see ‘working together with Him’ (‘with Him’ assumed but not stated in 2 Corinthians 6:1) as... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:8-10

‘By glory and dishonour, by evil report and good report; as deceivers, and yet true; as unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.’ The life of the godly man is a life of contrasts. On the one hand glory, glory in God’s working, glory in His goodness, glory in His truth, and on the other dishonour, the mockery and contempt of the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:1-10

2 Corinthians 5:20 to 2 Corinthians 6:10 . Paul proceeds to expound and apply the relationship between himself and his converts based upon this ministry. He acts in Christ’ s stead when he beseeches men to allow themselves to be reconciled to God. And what Paul did for Christ, God did through Christ. Once more he points to the supreme illustration and proof of God’ s will to reconcile men. He had treated Christ, the “ Son of His love,” though He had no experimental knowledge of sin, as though... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:8

By honour and dishonour; we depart not from our integrity, whether we be honoured or dishonoured. By evil report and good report; well or evilly reported of. This hath from the beginning been the lot of all the faithful ministers of Christ; some have given them honour, others have cast reproach upon them; some have given a good report of them, some an evil report. As deceivers, and yet true; some have represented them as impostors, and such as deceived the people; others have spoken of them as... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:9

As unknown, and yet well known; dealt with by Jews and heathens as persons wholly unknown to them, though we be sufficiently known; or being such whom the world knoweth not, as to our state towards God, and interest in him, though it knows us well enough as to our other circumstances. As dying, and, behold, we live; so hunted and persecuted, as that we appear every day dying; yet such hath been the power of God’s providence, that we yet live: As chastened, and not killed; and though our... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - 2 Corinthians 6:10

As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; appearing to others as persons drowned in griefs and sorrows, yet we are always rejoicing in God, {Habakkuk 3:17,Habakkuk 3:18} and in the testimony of a good conscience, 2 Corinthians 1:12. As poor, yet making many rich; in outward appearance poor, having no abundance of the good things of this life; yet making many rich in knowledge and grace, God by us dispensing to them the riches of his grace. As having nothing, and yet possessing all things as having... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - 2 Corinthians 6:1-10

CRITICAL NOTESThis chapter wrongly isolated at both ends by the customary division of the book. Connection quite closely continuous between 2 Corinthians 5:20-21 and 2 Corinthians 6:1; as also between 2 Corinthians 6:17-18 and 2 Corinthians 7:1.2 Corinthians 6:1. Workers together.—With whom? Choose between (1) God, and (2) Christ. For (1) is the repeated use of “beseech,” in 2 Corinthians 5:20; 2 Corinthians 6:1; for (2) the “scheme” of the passage (see Homily on 2 Corinthians 5:20), according... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 6:9-10

2 Corinthians 6:9-10 A String of Paradoxes. I. Note the first paradox of the text: "As unknown, and yet well known." The early disciples were a literally unknown and obscure set of persons, even the Apostles themselves being called from the most ordinary avocations of life. By far the greatest of their number, notwithstanding his natural and acquired ability, was sneered at by the world of his day. The world, as a whole, still misjudges and underrates the Church. The Apostle John's declaration... read more
