2 Corinthians 6:2 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

For he saith— See on Isaiah 49:8. The Apostle's reasoning is, God, addressing himself in the passage produced from Isaiah to the Messiah, speaks of a limited time, in which the Messiah's petition, speaking more humano, after the manner of men, was welcome to him, and in which he was ready to grant salvation; and behold, now is the accepted time,—now is the precious season, when, by the wonderful favour and goodness of God, complete forgiveness and eternal felicity are freely offered. This verse should be read in a parenthesis. See the introduction to the chapter.
