2 Corinthians 11:20
_ _ For — Ye may well “bear with” fools; for ye even “bear with” oppressors. Translate, “Ye bear with them.”
_ _ a man — as the false apostles do.
_ _ bring you into bondage — to himself. Translate “brings,” not “bring”; for the case is not merely a supposed case, but a case actually then occurring. Also “devours” (namely, by exactions, Matthew 23:24; Psalms 53:4), “takes,” “exalts,” “smites.”
_ _ take of you — So the Greek for “take” is used for “take away from” (Revelation 6:4). Alford translates, as in 2 Corinthians 12:16, “catches you.”
_ _ exalt himself — under the pretext of apostolic dignity.
_ _ smite you on the face — under the pretext of divine zeal. The height of insolence on their part, and of servile endurance on yours (1 Kings 22:24; Nehemiah 13:25; Luke 22:64; Acts 23:2; 1 Timothy 3:3). |
2 Corinthians 11:20
For ye suffer — Not only the folly, but the gross abuses, of those false apostles. If a man enslave you — Lord it over you in the most arbitrary manner. If he devour you — By his exorbitant demands; not — withstanding his boast of not being burdensome. If he take from you — By open violence. If he exalt himself — By the most unbounded self — commendation. If he smite you on the face — (A very possible case,) under pretence of divine zeal. |
2 Corinthians 11:20
(8) For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour [you], if a man take [of you], if a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the face.
(8) Before he comes to the matter, he talks directly to the Corinthians, who persuading themselves to be very wise men, did not mark in the meanwhile that those false apostles had abused their simplicity for advantage. |
- if a man bring:
2 Corinthians 1:24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, but are helpers of your joy: for by faith ye stand.
Galatians 2:4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in privily to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage:
Galatians 4:3 Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world:
Galatians 4:9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage?
Galatians 4:25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and answereth to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children.
Galatians 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
Galatians 5:10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that ye will be none otherwise minded: but he that troubleth you shall bear his judgment, whosoever he be.
Galatians 6:12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.

- take:
Romans 16:17-18 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. ... For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
Philippians 3:19 Whose end [is] destruction, whose God [is their] belly, and [whose] glory [is] in their shame, who mind earthly things.)
1 Thessalonians 2:5 For neither at any time used we flattering words, as ye know, nor a cloke of covetousness; God [is] witness:
|
- a man smite:
Isaiah 50:6 I gave my back to the smiters, and my cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not my face from shame and spitting.
Lamentations 3:30 He giveth [his] cheek to him that smiteth him: he is filled full with reproach.
Luke 6:29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the [one] cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not [to take thy] coat also.
