rwp@2Corinthians:6:10 @{Always rejoicing} (\aei chairontes\). Even in sorrow (11:9; kjv@1Thessalonians:5:16; kjv@Romans:5:3-5; 9:2; kjv@Phillipians:2:18,27; 3:1; 4:4,15|). {Yet making many rich} (\pollous de ploutizontes\). Old word from \ploutos\ (wealth), to enrich. Spiritual riches Paul has in mind as in kjv@1Corinthians:1:5| (cf. kjv@Matthew:5:37|). {As having nothing and yet possessing all things} (\h“s mˆden echontes kai panta katechontes\). Contrast between \mˆden\ (nothing) and \panta\ (all things, cf. kjv@1Corinthians:3:22|) and \ech“\ (to have) and \katech“\ (to hold down, to hold fast). Play on words (simple and compound) as in 3:2; 4:8|. Climax of Paul's panegyric on the Christian ministry. He now resumes the thread of the story broken off in 2:14|.
