2 Corinthians 10:8
_ _ “For even if I were to boast somewhat more exceedingly (than I do, 2 Corinthians 10:3-6) of our (apostolic) authority (2 Corinthians 10:6; 2 Corinthians 13:10) ... I should not be put to shame (by the fact; as I should be if my authority proved to be without foundation: my threats of punishment not being carried into effect).”
_ _ for edification ... not for ... destruction — Greek, “for building up ... not for ... CASTING DOWN” (the same Greek as in 2 Corinthians 10:5): the image of a building as in 2 Corinthians 10:4, 2 Corinthians 10:5. Though we “cast down reasonings,” this is not in order to destroy, but really to build up (“edify”), by removing those things which are hindrances to edification, and testing what is unsound, and putting together all that is true in the building [Chrysostom]. |
2 Corinthians 10:8
I should not be ashamed — As having said more than I could make good. |
- though:
2 Corinthians 1:24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
2 Corinthians 13:2-3 I told you before, and foretell you, as if I were present, the second time; and being absent now I write to them which heretofore have sinned, and to all other, that, if I come again, I will not spare: ... Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.
2 Corinthians 13:8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
2 Corinthians 13:10 Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.
Galatians 1:1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
|
- I should not:
2 Corinthians 7:14 For if I have boasted any thing to him of you, I am not ashamed; but as we spake all things to you in truth, even so our boasting, which [I made] before Titus, is found a truth.
2 Corinthians 12:6 For though I would desire to glory, I shall not be a fool; for I will say the truth: but [now] I forbear, lest any man should think of me above that which he seeth me [to be], or [that] he heareth of me.
2 Timothy 1:12 For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.
