ISB ~ 2 Corinthians 6 v2

At the acceptable time:A citation from the Greek version of Is 49:8.

• Isaiah outlines the mission of the Servant Messiah: he will restore the tribal family of Israel and bring the light of salvation to the Gentiles (Is 49:6). Christ fulfills this mission through the apostolic ministry of his servants, like Paul (Acts 13:47). In this context, Paul is stressing that God is ready (now) to help the Corinthians in their time of crisis, reminding them that the window for repentance will not always remain open (CCC 859, 1041).
