rwp - 2Corinthians:1:21

rwp@2Corinthians:1:21 @{Establishes} (\bebain\). Present active participle from \bebaios\, firm. An apt metaphor in Corinth where confirmation of a bargain often took place (\bebaisis\) as Deissmann shows (_Bible Studies_, p. 109) and as verse 22| makes plain. {Anointed} (\chrisas\). From \chri\, to anoint, old verb, to consecrate, with the Holy Spirit here as in strkjv@1John:2:20|.
