In the night by a vision; as Acts 16:9; it may be, by an angel. Speak, and hold not thy peace; it is doubled again and again, as of greatest consequence:
1. To the Corinthians, whose salvation by this means might be procured.
2. To Paul himself, whose soul, howsoever, should be delivered, he having discharged his duty, Acts 20:26,27. The fierceness of the enemies of God and his truth, should kindle a greater fervour in his servants for his glory. Should Satan have better servants than God? Should they dare for their master beyond what the servants of God are willing to do or suffer for him? Isaiah 62:1 Jeremiah 1:17,18.
