Summary: Paul's appeal to the Corinthians - and to us today - is grounded in a passage from Isaiah 49, which in turn is grounded in the idea that Cyrus, King of Persia, is a "messiah" for the Israelites in exile in Babylon. Paul moves this idea forward to own time and we see how it applies to us today. Listen in. (II Corinthians 6:1-3)
