{Behold, now is the acceptable time} (idou nun kairos
euprosdektos). Here is another "Pauline parenthesis" (Plummer)
as in  5:7  by the quotation from  Isa 49:8 . The LXX has
dektos (dektoi) verbal of dechomai, but Paul employs the
double compound (eu, pros, dektos), well-received. It occurs in
Aristophanes, Plutarch, inscription, etc.
