2 Corinthians 6:15

Verse 15

15. Christ with Belial The contrast presented in its living representatives, the heads of the kingdom of light and of darkness.

Belial Used in Judges 19:22; Judges 20:13; and 1 Samuel 25:25, where see notes. It there signifies worthlessness; but in later literature came to be an appellative for Satan. Bloomfield says: “Like the Hebrew בלי יעל , who will-do-no-one-any-good; that is, who will do evil to any one, the author of all evil, the evil spirit, the devil.”

Believeth… infidel From the head personages the contrast is now brought down to the human individuals. The great boundary line between the good and bad in the universe, between light and darkness, between Christ and Satan, cuts relentlessly between the Christian and the unchristian.
