This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Co 6:1. Συνεργοῦντες, workers together) Not only as the ambassadors of God, or on the other hand, as beseeching, we deal with you; but also, as your friends, we co-operate with you for your salvation. [This is the medium between the dignity of ambassadors and the humility of beseeching, ch. 2Co 5:20. That is, we try all means.-Not. Crit.] For you ought to work out your own salvation, Php 2:12. The working together with them is described, 2Co 6:3-4; the exhortation, 2Co 6:2; 2Co 6:14-15 [as far as ch. 2Co 7:1.-V. g.] He strongly dissuades them from Judaism, as an ambassador, and by beseeching; as working together with them, he strongly dissuades them from heathenism. None but a holy [ch. 2Co 7:1] minister of the Gospel can turn himself into all forms of this sort.-καὶ, also).-τὴν χάριν, the grace) of which ch. 2Co 5:18-19 treats, [and ch. 2Co 6:2; 2Co 6:17-18.-V. g.]-δέξασθαι) This word is drawn from the δεκτῷ of 2Co 6:2 [receive-For this is God’s season of receiving sinners]. Divine grace offers itself: human faith and obedience avail themselves of the offer.
