Robertson Word Pictures - 2 Corinthians 10:6 - 10:6

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Being in readiness (en hetoimōi echontes). This very idiom occurs in Polybius, Philo, etc. “Holding in readiness.” In 2Co 12:14 we have hetoimōs echō for the same idea (adverb hetoimōs).

Disobedience (parakoēn). Rare word (Plato, papyri) hearing amiss (aside), failing to hear, refusing to heed (cf. Mat 18:17 for same idea in parakouō). In N.T. only here; Rom 5:19; Heb 2:2. In contrast with hupakoē (obedience) rather than the common apeithia (Rom 11:30, Rom 11:32).

When your obedience shall be fulfilled (hotan plērōthēi humōn hē hupakoē). Indefinite temporal clause with hotan and first aorist passive subjunctive. Paul expects that the whole church will become obedient to Christ’s will soon as came true.
