哥林多后书 10:2 CUVS

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - 2 Corinthians 10:1-3

2 Corinthians 10:1-3. Now, &c. Hitherto St. Paul’s discourse, in this epistle, was chiefly directed to those at Corinth who acknowledged his apostleship, and who had obeyed his orders, signified to them in his former letter. But in this and the remaining chapters he addresses the false teachers, and such of the faction as adhered to them, speaking to them with great authority, and threatening to punish them by his miraculous power, if they did not immediately repent. The different... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 10:1-18

10:1-13:14 APOSTOLIC AUTHORITYIn spite of all Paul has said, there were still trouble-makers at Corinth. Certain travelling preachers had gained some standing in the church and continued to make accusations against Paul. Paul refers to them ironically as ‘super apostles’, and more directly as ‘false apostles’ (see 11:5,13).Spiritual power; worthless boasting (10:1-18)These so-called apostles repeatedly questioned the authority of Paul and succeeded in winning some of the Corinthians over to... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 10:2

Yea, I beseech you that I may not when present show courage with the confidence wherewith I count to be bold against some, who count of us as if we walked after the flesh.The thought in this is that Paul was purposely mild and timid when present with the whole congregation, and that he was beseeching the majority of them, even here, that they would not be offended by that confident courage he was prepared to demonstrate against the "some," not only in what he was about to write, but also when... read more

2. I beseech you—Intimating that, as he can beseech in letters, so he can be severe in their presence. that I may not be—that I may not have to be bold, &c. with that confidence—that authoritative sternness. I think—I am minded to be. as if we walked according to the flesh—His Corinthian detractors judged of him by themselves, as if he were influenced by fleshly motives, the desire of favor or fear of giving offense, so as not to exercise his authority when present. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Corinthians 10:1-2

Paul may have identified himself by name here so his readers would have no doubt that what he proceeded to say indeed came from him. Whenever he described himself as "I Paul" (and here "myself"), he made his point with strong emphasis (cf. Galatians 5:2; Ephesians 3:1; Colossians 1:23; 1 Thessalonians 2:18; 2 Thessalonians 3:17; Philemon 1:19). He began by gently asking his readers to respond to his appeal to submit to his apostolic authority. This was important so that when he came he would... read more

IV. APPEALS CONCERNING PAUL’S APOSTOLIC AUTHORITY 10:1-13:10In this third and last major division of his epistle the apostle Paul defended his apostolic authority. He did this to silence his critics in Corinth and perhaps elsewhere permanently and to confirm the united support of the Christians there. One of Paul’s major purposes in writing this letter was to prepare the way for his next visit. He had just referred to that "anticipated visit" (2 Corinthians 9:3-4). Consequently he felt... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Corinthians 10:1-18

A. Replies to charges made against Paul 10:1-18Paul responded to charges of cowardice, weakness, and intrusion that one or more critics in Corinth had evidently leveled against him. Failure to submit to apostolic authority could have dangerous consequences, such as disregarding his inspired writings. It was to spare his beloved readers from these ill effects that Paul wrote as he did, not out of a carnal sense of wounded pride. read more
