‏ 2 Corinthians 6:2

 Behold, now is the acceptable time ( ιδου νυν καιρος ευπροσδεκτος ). Here is another "Pauline parenthesis" (Plummer) as in 5:7 by the quotation from Isa 49:8. The LXX has  δεκτος ( δεκτο ) verbal of  δεχομα, but Paul employs the double compound ( ευ, προσ, δεκτος ), well-received. It occurs in Aristophanes, Plutarch, inscription, etc.
