2 Corinthians 6:17

διὸ Ἐξέλθατε. The Apostle draws the conclusion to which he pointed in 2 Corinthians 6:14. God’s people must be separated from the life of the heathen, at once and decisively (aor. imperat.). The quotation is made freely from memory, and is a mosaic of several passages; Isaiah 52:11-12; Ezekiel 20:34; comp. Ezekiel 11:17; Zephaniah 3:20; Zechariah 10:8. Exite de medio eorum, non corpore, sed mente, non vagatione loci, sed devotione (Atto Verc.).

κἀγὼ εἰσδέξομαι ὑμᾶς. And I will welcome you. The compound occurs nowhere else in the N.T., but is fairly common in the LXX., esp. of the Divine promises (Hosea 8:10; Micah 4:6; Zechariah 10:10; Jeremiah 23:3; &c.), as here. Cremer, Lex. p. 687. In Lk. and Acts ἀποδέχομαι is common. Both mean ‘receive with favour.’
