Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

2 Corinthians 10:17

_ _ glorieth — Translate, to accord with 2 Corinthians 10:16, “boasteth.” In contrast to his opponents’ practice of boasting in another’s line or sphere, Paul declares the only true boasting is in the Lord (1 Corinthians 1:31; 1 Corinthians 15:10).

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

2 Corinthians 10:17

(6) But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

(6) He somewhat moderates that which he spoke of himself, and in so doing also prepares the Corinthians to hear other things, witnessing that he seeks nothing else but to approve himself to God, whose glory alone he seeks.
