2 Corinthians 1:10

10. Doth deliver The danger and the deliverance were continuous. The nervous predisposition still hung over Paul, and his life was a constant deliverance from death. We may suggest as a strong proof of the real nature of Paul’s danger, his continued reserve in specifically naming it. Had it been a beast-fight, or a conspiracy, or an assault, or even “a weakness of the eyes,” he would have specified it; but here, as elsewhere, from its humiliating character it is covered under allusions and metaphors.
