Where does Paul quote from in chapter 6 verse 2?
In chapter 6 verse 2, Paul quotes from the Old Testament, specifically the book of Isaiah. He declares, 'Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.' This quotation identifies Isaiah as the source of Paul's words in this verse.
Les explains that in verse 2 Paul is going to quote from the Old Testament, specifically from the book of Isaiah. The quotation is 'Behold, now is the accepted time. Behold, now is the day of salvation.' Les connects this to the previous chapter's teaching that believers are ambassadors for Christ and are saved to serve, not just to escape hellfire. The context shows Paul transitioning from the responsibility of ambassadors in chapter 5 to the appeal in chapter 6, using Isaiah to stress the present opportunity for salvation.
