2 Corinthians 6:1-10

1–10. S. Paul continues his personal explanations respecting his work. These personal explanations are specially prominent in 2 Corinthians 6:3-4, about which 2 Corinthians 6:4-10 give details as to the way in which his ministry was exercised. He can give an account of it which might well put his adversaries to shame. His readers can use it as a material for defence. “The almost lyrical character which belongs to this burst of feeling may be fitly compared to Romans 8:31-39; 1 Corinthians 13:1-13, which occupy in a similar manner the central place in these Epistles” (Stanley).
