2 Corinthians 10:13
_ _ 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 (2 Corinthians 10:13) 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 facts [Conybeare and Howson]. It would be to “boast of things without our measure,” were we to boast of conversions made by “other men’s labors” (2 Corinthians 10:15).
_ _ distributed — apportioned [Alford].
_ _ a measure — as a measure [Alford].
_ _ to reach — “that we should reach as far as even to you”: not that he meant to go no further (2 Corinthians 10:16; Romans 15:20-24). Paul’s “measure” is the apportionment of his sphere of Gospel labors ruled for him by God. A “rule” among the so-called “apostolic canons” subsequently was, that no bishop should appoint ministers beyond his own limits. At Corinth no minister ought to have been received without Paul’s sanction, as Corinth was apportioned to him by God as his apostolic sphere. The Epistle here incidentally, and therefore undesignedly, confirms the independent history, the Acts, which represents Corinth as the extreme limit as yet of his preaching, at which he had stopped, after he had from Philippi passed southward successively through Amphipolis, Apollonia, Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens [Paley, Horae Paulinae]. |
2 Corinthians 10:13
But we will not, like them, boastingly extend ourselves beyond our measure, but according to the measure of the province which God hath allotted us — To me, in particular, as the apostle of the gentiles. A measure which reaches even unto you — God allotted to each apostle his province, and the measure or bounds thereof. |
2 Corinthians 10:13
But we will not boast of things without [our] (l) measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
(l) Of those things which God has not measured to me. |
- we will not:
2 Corinthians 10:15 Not boasting of things without [our] measure, [that is], of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,
Proverbs 25:14 Whoso boasteth himself of a false gift [is like] clouds and wind without rain.
|
- according:
2 Corinthians 10:14 For we stretch not ourselves beyond [our measure], as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in [preaching] the gospel of Christ:
Matthew 25:15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.
Romans 12:6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, [let us prophesy] according to the proportion of faith;
Romans 15:20 Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man's foundation:
1 Corinthians 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
Ephesians 4:7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
1 Peter 4:10 As every man hath received the gift, [even so] minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

- rule:
- or, line,
Psalms 19:4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
Isaiah 28:17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
Romans 10:18 But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world.
