This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Co 10:6. Ἐν ἑτοίμῳ ἔχοντες) viz., ἡμᾶς, he says, we are ready [having ourselves in readiness]. We have zeal already; and it will be brought forth into action at the proper time.-πᾶσαν, all) This has a more extensive meaning than ὑμῶν, your, presently after.-ὅταν, when) lest the weaker should be injured,[66] 2Co 10:8. This is the principal point of pastoral prudence. [Paul had already done something of this sort at Corinth, Act 18:7. On a similar principle, GOD exercises so great long-suffering as He does, in regard to an immense multitude of wicked men, till those things which can be gained thereby, have been drawn forth. See Exo 32:34.-V. g.]
[66] Were I prematurely before the time to revenge disobedience.-ED.
