Editor's Note
Since the writing of this commentary on Second Corinthians, our beloved brother William (Bill) Jackson departed this life April 5, 1991.
Another great soldier of the cross has now laid his armor down and gone on to his eternal reward. His race he has run, his crown he has won, and we believe it to be one that shall never fade away.
