고린도후서 10:13 KRV

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 10:13

But we will not glory beyond our measure, but according to the measure of the province which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even unto you.The measure of the province ... One can only marvel at a translation like this. According to the Greek, as cited in the English Revised Version (1885) margin, the word is measuring-rod, which certainly makes a lot more sense than the word our translators substituted for it. Paul's plain meaning is that in the "glorying" or "boasting" he is about... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Corinthians 10:13

2 Corinthians 10:13. Without our measure,— The original word Αμετρα, here and in 2Co 10:15 does not signify immense, or immoderate, but something which had not been measured out and allotted to him; something which is not committed to him,nor within his province. read more

13. not boast . . . without . . . measure—Greek, "to unmeasured bounds." There is no limit to a man's high opinion of himself, so long as he measures himself by himself ( :-) and his fellows, and does not compare himself with his superiors. It marks the personal character of this Epistle that the word "boast" occurs twenty-nine times in it, and only twenty-six times in all the other Epistles put together. Undeterred by the charge of vanity, he felt he must vindicate his apostolic authority by... 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

3. Reply to the charge of intrusion 10:12-18Paul defended his right to preach the gospel in Corinth and denied his critics’ claim that they had been responsible for what God had done through Paul there. He did this to vindicate his former actions and to prepare for future ministry in the regions beyond Corinth.". . . Paul, responding to his opponents’ characterization of him as inconsistent, and hence as a flatterer, and of the invidious comparisons of his opponents, attacks the whole... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Corinthians 10:13-14

Evidently Paul’s critics were claiming that the apostle had exceeded the proper limits of his ministry by evangelizing in Corinth. They proudly refused to admit that Paul’s commission as the apostle to the Gentiles gave him the right to minister as far from Palestine as Corinth. He responded that he had not exceeded the territorial limits of his commission by planting the church in Gentile Corinth.Paul’s ministry had definite divinely prescribed limits. He was to be the apostle to the Gentiles... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 10:1-14

(B) Chapters 10-13. St. Paul’s Defence of his MinistryAs explained in the Introduction, this section is regarded as part of the intermediate letter, referred to in 2 Corinthians 2:3-4 and 2 Corinthians 7:8, in which the Apostle rebuked his converts, and sought to bring them to repentance. It is, therefore, to be taken as earlier in time than 2 Corinthians 1-9, which were written as the result of the Corinthians’ reception of the intermediate or ’severe’ letter.Here the Apostle answers the... read more
