| Summary: | The authenticity of 2 Cor 6.14–7.1 continues to be debated. This essay argues that the passage is non-Pauline and that it was interpolated by an Ephesian redactor of 2 Corinthians. Linguistic and theological parallels with Rev 21.3–8 and Eph 5 suggest that the passage came from a circle of Jewish Christians in Ephesus, originally from Palestine, who espoused a rigorously exclusivistic Christianity. This circle was also involved in the collection, redaction, and publication of the Pauline corpus. The Epistle to the Ephesians is itself evidence for the interaction between Christianity of Palestinian provenance and the Pauline heritage. |
