2 Corinthians 11:2 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

That I may present you as a chaste virgin— This is greatly illustrated by recollecting, that there was an officer among the Greeks, whose business it was to educate and form young women, especially those of rank and figure, designed for marriage; and then to present them to those who were to be their husbands: and if this officer permitted them, though negligence, to be corrupted before the marriage was completed, great blame would naturally fall upon him.

2 Corinthians 11:2

2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
