2 Corinthians 11:6
_ _ rude — Greek, “a common man”; a “laic”; not rhetorically trained; unskilled in finish of diction. 1 Corinthians 2:1-4, 1 Corinthians 2:13; 2 Corinthians 10:10, 2 Corinthians 10:11, shows his words were not without weight, though his “speech” was deficient in oratorical artifice. “Yet I am not so in my knowledge” (2 Corinthians 12:1-5; Ephesians 3:1-5).
_ _ have been ... made manifest — Read with the oldest manuscripts, “We have made things (Gospel truths) manifest,” thus showing our “knowledge.” English Version would mean, I leave it to yourselves to decide whether I be rude in speech ... : for we have been thoroughly (literally, “in everything”) made manifest among you (literally, “in respect to you”; “in relation to you”). He had not by reserve kept back his “knowledge” in divine mysteries from them (2 Corinthians 2:17; 2 Corinthians 4:2; Acts 20:20, Acts 20:27).
_ _ in all things — The Greek rather favors the translation, “among all men”; the sense then is, we have manifested the whole truth among all men with a view to your benefit [Alford]. But the Greek in Philippians 4:12, “In each thing and in all things,” sanctions English Version, which gives a clearer sense. |
2 Corinthians 11:6
If I am unskilful in speech — If I speak in a plain, unadorned way, like an unlearned person. So the Greek word properly signifies. |
2 Corinthians 11:6
(3) But though [I be] (f) rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but we have been throughly made manifest among you in all things.
(3) He refutes the slanders of those boastful and proud men. I grant, he says, that I am not so eloquent an orator, but yet they cannot take away the knowledge of the Gospel from me, of which you have had good proof, and that in every manner of way.
(f) Paul did not lack the type of eloquence which is proper for a man, and fit for the Gospel, but he willingly lacked that eloquent type of speech, which too many now a days search after and follow. |
- rude:
2 Corinthians 10:10 For [his] letters, say they, [are] weighty and powerful; but [his] bodily presence [is] weak, and [his] speech contemptible.
1 Corinthians 1:17 For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.
1 Corinthians 1:21 For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
1 Corinthians 2:1-3 And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God. ... And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.
1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
|
- not:
Ephesians 3:4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
2 Peter 3:15-16 And account [that] the longsuffering of our Lord [is] salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; ... As also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
|
- but we:
2 Corinthians 4:2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
2 Corinthians 5:11 Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
2 Corinthians 7:2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.
2 Corinthians 12:12 Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds.
