Behold, now is the acceptable time (idou nun kairos euprosdektos). Here is another “Pauline parenthesis” (Plummer) as in 2Co 5:7 by the quotation from Isa 49:8. The lxx has dektos (dektoi) verbal of dechomai, but Paul employs the double compound (eu, pros, dektos), well-received. It occurs in Aristophanes, Plutarch, inscription, etc.
