13. Transfer: `As compensation of the same kind. . . . You are also enlarged” [ELLICOTT]. “In the same way” that my heart is increased towards you (2 Corinthians 6,11) and “in compensation” (Galatians 4,12). I talk to my children – as one would expect children, of course, to unravel their parents` love with a similar love. 2 Corinthians 6:16 (ASV) And what is the concordance of a temple of God with idols? For we are a temple of the living God; As God said, I will dwell in them and walk in them; And I will be their God, and they will be my people. And they will be my people, his special people, loved by him with a special love, to whom he gives special blessings; and which are made for a willing people, ready to be its people by powerful grace, shaped for itself, for its service and glory: thus, the Apostle revealed himself faithful to Christ with others, by their irreproachable life and conduct.

(1-10) In affection and seriously worrying about not having communion with infidels and idolaters. (11-18) 1st worker – with God (Acts 15:4, 1 Corinthians 3:9). Not only as an “ambassador”, begging – please (2 Corinthians 5,20). He describes his service, not directly urged. They too – we too (like God, 2 Corinthians 5,20) implore” or “ask”: 2 Corinthians 6,14 2 Corinthians 6,15, out of 2 Corinthians 7,1, is part of this request or exhortation. in vain – by making God`s grace a reason for persistence in sin (2 Corinthians 6,3). By a life of sin that shows that the word of reconciliation has been in vain for you (Hebrews 12:15). Judas 1,4). “The grace of God” is here “reconciliation” provided by the love of God (2 Corinthians 5:18 2 Corinthians 5:19; cf. Galatians 2:2). 5.

Patrol-, 2 Corinthians 11:23 2. Corinthians 11:24, Acts 16:23). Prisoners (2 Corinthians 11,23). He had undoubtedly been imprisoned elsewhere, except in Philippi when he wrote this letter. Tumults — (Acts 13:50, Acts 14:5 Acts 14:19, 16:22; and recently Acts 19:23-41). work – in the cause of Christ (2 Corinthians 11,23, Romans 16,12). Observations-, 2 Corinthians 11:27). Sleepless nights. Fasting – The context here refers more to his trials than to devoted exercises (cf. 2 Corinthians 11:27). Thus the meaning seems to be the “lack of food” (cf.

1 Corinthians 4:11; Philippians 4:12). But the usual meaning of Greek is fasting, in the strict sense of the word; and in 2. Corinthians 11,27 are spoken of independently of hunger and thirst. (Compare Luke 2:37, Acts 10:30, 14:23). Matthew 15:32, 8:3, however, justify the meaning favored by the context, the absence of food, although this is a rare use of the word. GAUSSEN remarks: “The apostles associate the highest ministries with the most modest exterior: how everything in the Church should be poured into the form of death and resurrection, the cardinal principle in all Christianity.” And what is the concordance between the temple of God and the idols? &c.] In other words, what association, confederation or federal convention can the saints, who are the temple of God, have with idols or their idols? no more than the Ark of the Lord with Dagon or Dagon with the Ark; When he was brought into his temple and established by him, the idol fell, and a part of him was broken into pieces: “I will live with them and I will walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be my people.” [a] (D) O Ephraim, what more do I have to do with idols? I am the one who answers and takes care of you. I am like an exuberant cypress; It is from me that your fruit comes. 16. Concordance – Concordance of feelings (cf.

1. Kings 18:21, Ephesians 5,7 Ephesians 5,11). the temple of God – that is, believers (1 Corinthians 3,16; 6,19). . . .
