2 Corinthians6:6

6. By ... by, &c.--rather, as Greek, "In ... in," implying not the instrument, but the sphere or element in which his ministry moved.

knowledge--spiritual: in Gospel mysteries, unattainable by mere reason (1Co 2:6-16; 2Co 3:6, 17, 18).

long-suffering ... kindness--associated with "charity" or "love" (1Co 13:4), as here.

by the Holy Ghost--in virtue of His influences which produce these graces, and other gifts, "love unfeigned" being the foremost of them.
