2Co 6:2. Λέγει, He saith) The Father to Messiah, Isa 49:8, embracing in Him all believers.-γὰρ, for) He is describing grace.-δεκτῷ, accepted) the acceptable time of the good pleasure of God. Hence Paul presently after infers its correlative, εὐπρόσδεκτος, well-accepted, that it may be also agreeable to us.[33]-ἘΠΉΚΟΥΣΆ ΣΟΥ) I have heard thee, viz. praying.-ἐν ἡμέρᾳ, in a day) Luk 19:42; Heb 3:7.-ἰδοὺ νῦν, behold now) The summing up of the exhortation, 2Co 6:1; set before us in the way of a supposed dialogue.[34]
[33] The present time is δεκτὸς to God: let it be also εὐπρόσδεκτος to us.-ED.
[34] Or introduction of an imaginary speaker. See Append. on Sermocinatio.-ED.
