Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - 2 Corinthians 12:19

2 Corinthians 12:19. Again, think ye that we excuse, &c.— He had before given the reason, ch. 2Co 1:23 for his not coming to them, with the same asseveration as in the present verse. If we trace the thread of St. Paul's discourse, we may observe that, having concluded the justification of himself and his apostleship by his past actions, 2Co 12:13 he had it in his thoughts to tell them how he would deal with the false apostle and his adherents when he came, as he was now ready to do; and... read more

18. I desired Titus—namely, to go unto you. Not the mission mentioned 2 Corinthians 8:6; 2 Corinthians 8:17; 2 Corinthians 8:22; but a mission previous to this Epistle, probably that from which he had just returned announcing to Paul their penitence (2 Corinthians 8:22- :). a brother—rather "OUR (literally, 'the') brother"; one well known to the Corinthians, and perhaps a Corinthian; probably one of the two mentioned in 2 Corinthians 8:18; 2 Corinthians 8:22. same spirit—inwardly.... read more

19. Again—The oldest manuscripts read, "This long time ye think that we are excusing ourselves unto you? (Nay). It is before God (as opposed to 'unto you') that we speak in Christ" ( :-). English Version Greek text was a correction from 2 Corinthians 3:1; 2 Corinthians 5:12. read more

B. Claims made by Paul 11:1-12:18In this section Paul gave further evidence that he possessed apostolic authority to encourage the whole Corinthian church to continue to respond positively to his ministry. Some writers refer to 2 Corinthians 11:1 to 2 Corinthians 12:13 as Paul’s "Fool’s Speech" because of the recurring "foolishness" terminology in this passage (aphrosyne, aphron, paraphron; cf. 2 Corinthians 11:1; 2 Corinthians 11:16 [twice], 17, 19, 23; 2 Corinthians 12:11; 2 Corinthians... read more

5. Paul’s supernatural miracles and paternal love 12:11-18In this pericope Paul concluded his claims to be a genuine apostle by citing the miracles that God had done and the love that He had manifested to the Corinthians through Paul. He did this to dispel any lingering reservations any of his readers might have had concerning his apostolic credentials. read more

Whether the Corinthians showed Paul proper filial love or not he would continue to sacrifice for them.Some in Corinth had evidently accused Paul of craftily obtaining money from the Corinthians indirectly through his agents such as Titus. They may have regarded the collection for the poor Jerusalem saints as one way that Paul was stealthily getting money from them for himself. If that was their charge, he may have used his critics’ terms in irony to show that he had been crafty. However, he was... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - 2 Corinthians 12:19

The first part of this verse may have been a statement or a question. The meaning is the same in either case. Paul said what he did, especially in 2 Corinthians 10:1 to 2 Corinthians 12:18, primarily to build up the Corinthian believers in their faith. His self-defense was only a means to that end. It was for that worthy goal that he was willing to speak "foolishly." He recognized that he, as a man in Christ, was ultimately responsible to God, not to his critics (cf. 2 Corinthians 2:17; 2... read more
