2 Corinthians 6:3
_ _ Resuming the connection with 2 Corinthians 6:1, interrupted by the parenthetical 2 Corinthians 6:2. “Giving no offense” (compare 1 Corinthians 10:33), “approving ourselves,” and all the other participles down to 2 Corinthians 6:10, are nominatives to “we also entreat you” (2 Corinthians 6:1), to show the pains he took to enforce his exhortation by example, as well as precept [Alford]. “Offense” would be given, if we were without “patience” and the other qualifications which he therefore subjoins (compare Romans 14:13). |

Giving, as far as in us lies, no offence, that the ministry be not blamed on our account. |

Romans 14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in [ his] brother's way.
