There was no place in which the apostle Paul met with more opposition
|
|
from false apostles than at Corinth; he had many enemies there. Let not
|
|
any of the ministers of Christ think it strange if they meet with
|
|
perils, not only from enemies, but from false brethren; for blessed
|
|
Paul himself did so. Though he was so blameless and inoffensive in all
|
|
his carriage, so condescending and useful to all, yet there were those
|
|
who bore him ill-will, who envied him, and did all they could to
|
|
undermine him, and lesson his interest and reputation. Therefore he
|
|
vindicates himself from their imputation, and arms the Corinthians
|
|
against their insinuations. In this chapter the apostle, in a mild and
|
|
humble manner, asserts the power of his preaching, and to punish
|
|
offenders,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Co+10:1-6">ver. 1-6</A>.
|
|
|
|
He then proceeds to reason the case with the Corinthians, asserting his
|
|
relation to Christ, and his authority as an apostle of Christ
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Co+10:7-11">ver. 7-11</A>),
|
|
|
|
and refuses to justify himself, or to act by such rules as the false
|
|
teachers did, but according to the better rules he had fixed for
|
|
himself,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Co+10:12-18">ver. 12, to the end</A>.</P>

<FONT SIZE=+1>1 Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness
|
|
of Christ, who in presence <I>am</I> base among you, but being absent
|
|
am bold toward you:
|
|
2 But I beseech <I>you,</I> that I may not be bold when I am present
|
|
with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some,
|
|
which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.
|
|
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the
|
|
flesh:
|
|
4 (For the weapons of our warfare <I>are</I> not carnal, but mighty
|
|
through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
|
|
5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth
|
|
itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity
|
|
every thought to the obedience of Christ;
|
|
6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when
|
|
your obedience is fulfilled.

<P>
|
|
|
|
Here we may observe,</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
I. The mild and humble manner in which the blessed apostle addresses
|
|
the Corinthians, and how desirous he is that no occasion may be given
|
|
him to use severity.
|
|
|
|
1. He addresses them in a very mild and humble manner: <I>I Paul myself
|
|
beseech you,</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Co+10:1"><I>v.</I> 1</A>.
|
|
|
|
We find, in the introduction to this epistle, he joined Timothy with
|
|
himself; but now he speaks only for himself, against whom the false
|
|
apostles had particularly levelled their reproaches; yet in the midst
|
|
of the greatest provocations he shows humility and mildness, from the
|
|
consideration of the <I>meekness and gentleness of Christ,</I> and
|
|
desires this great example may have the same influence on the
|
|
Corinthians. Note, When we find ourselves tempted or inclined to be
|
|
rough and severe towards any body, we should think of the meekness and
|
|
gentleness of Christ, that appeared in him in the days of his flesh, in
|
|
the design of his undertaking, and in all the acts of his grace towards
|
|
poor souls. How humbly also does this great apostle speak of himself,
|
|
as <I>one in presence base among them!</I> So his enemies spoke of him
|
|
with contempt, and he seems to acknowledge it; while others thought
|
|
meanly, and spoke scornfully of him, he had low thoughts of himself,
|
|
and spoke humbly of himself. Note, We should be sensible of our own
|
|
infirmities, and think humbly of ourselves, even when men reproach us
|
|
for them.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
2. He is desirous that no occasion may be given to use severity,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Co+10:2"><I>v.</I> 2</A>.
|
|
|
|
<I>He beseeches them</I> to give no occasion for him to be bold, or to
|
|
exercise his authority against them in general, as he had resolved to
|
|
do against some who unjustly charged him as <I>walking according to the
|
|
flesh,</I> that is, regulating his conduct, even in his ministerial
|
|
actions, according to carnal policy or with worldly views. This was
|
|
what the apostle had renounced, and this is contrary to the spirit and
|
|
design of the gospel, and was far from being the aim and design of the
|
|
apostle. Hereupon,</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
II. He asserts the power of his preaching and his power to punish
|
|
offenders.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
1. The power of his preaching,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Co+10:3,5"><I>v.</I> 3, 5</A>.
|
|
|
|
Here observe,
|
|
|
|
(1.) The work of the ministry is a warfare, not <I>after the flesh</I>
|
|
indeed, for it is a spiritual warfare, with spiritual enemies and for
|
|
spiritual purposes. And though ministers walk in the flesh, or live in
|
|
the body, and in the common affairs of life act as other men, yet in
|
|
their work and warfare they must not go by the maxims of the flesh, nor
|
|
should they design to please the flesh: this must be crucified with its
|
|
affections and lusts; it must be mortified and kept under.
|
|
|
|
(2.) The doctrines of the gospel and discipline of the church are the
|
|
weapons of this warfare; and these are not carnal: outward force,
|
|
therefore, is not the method of the gospel, but strong persuasions, by
|
|
the power of truth and the meekness of wisdom. A good argument this is
|
|
against persecution for conscience' sake: conscience is accountable to
|
|
God only; and people must be persuaded to God and their duty, not
|
|
driven by force of arms. And so the weapons of our warfare are mighty,
|
|
or very powerful; the evidence of truth is convincing and cogent. This
|
|
indeed is through God, or owing to him, because they are his
|
|
institutions, and accompanied with his blessing, which makes all
|
|
opposition to fall before his victorious gospel. We may here observe,
|
|
|
|
[1.] What opposition is made against the gospel by the powers of sin
|
|
and Satan in the hearts of men. Ignorance, prejudices, beloved lusts,
|
|
are Satan's strong-holds in the souls of some; vain imaginations,
|
|
carnal reasonings, and high thoughts, or proud conceits, in others,
|
|
<I>exalt themselves against the knowledge of God,</I> that is, by these
|
|
ways the devil endeavours to keep men from faith and obedience to the
|
|
gospel, and secures his possession of the hearts of men, as his own
|
|
house or property. But then observe,
|
|
|
|
[2.] The conquest which the word of God gains. These strong-holds are
|
|
pulled down by the gospel as the means, through the grace and power of
|
|
God accompanying it as the principal efficient cause. Note, The
|
|
conversion of the soul is the conquest of Satan in that soul.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
2. The apostle's power to punish offenders (and that in an
|
|
extraordinary manner) is asserted in
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Co+10:6"><I>v.</I> 6</A>.
|
|
|
|
The apostle was a prime-minister in the kingdom of Christ, and chief
|
|
officer in his army, and <I>had in readiness</I> (that is, he had power
|
|
and authority at hand) <I>to revenge all disobedience,</I> or to punish
|
|
offenders in a most exemplary and extraordinary manner. The apostle
|
|
speaks not of personal revenge, but of punishing disobedience to the
|
|
gospel, and disorderly walking among church-members, by inflicting
|
|
church-censures. Note, Though the apostle showed meekness and
|
|
gentleness, yet he would not betray his authority; and therefore
|
|
intimates that when he would commend those whose obedience was
|
|
fulfilled or manifested others would fall under severe censures.</P>

<FONT SIZE=+1>7 Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man
|
|
trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think
|
|
this again, that, as he <I>is</I> Christ's, even so <I>are</I> we Christ's.
|
|
8 For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority,
|
|
which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your
|
|
destruction, I should not be ashamed:
|
|
9 That I may not seem as if I would terrify you by letters.
|
|
10 For <I>his</I> letters, say they, <I>are</I> weighty and powerful; but
|
|
<I>his</I> bodily presence <I>is</I> weak, and <I>his</I> speech contemptible.
|
|
11 Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by
|
|
letters when we are absent, such <I>will we be</I> also in deed when
|
|
we are present.
|
|
</FONT></P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
In these verses the apostle proceeds to reason the case with the
|
|
Corinthians, in opposition to those who despised him, judged him, and
|
|
spoke hardly of him: "<I>Do you,</I>" says he, "<I>look on things after
|
|
the outward appearance?</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Co+10:7"><I>v.</I> 7</A>.
|
|
|
|
Is this a fit measure or rule to make an estimate of things or persons
|
|
by, and to judge between me and my adversaries?" In outward appearance,
|
|
Paul was mean and despicable with some; he did not make a figure, as
|
|
perhaps some of his competitors might do: but this was a false rule to
|
|
make a judgment by. It should seem that some boasted mighty things of
|
|
themselves, and made a fair show. But there are often false
|
|
appearances. A man may seem to be learned who has not learned Christ,
|
|
and appear virtuous when he has not a principle of grace in his heart.
|
|
However, the apostle asserts two things of himself:--</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
I. His relation to Christ: <I>If any man trust to himself that he is
|
|
Christ's, even so are we Christ's,</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Co+10:7"><I>v.</I> 7</A>.
|
|
|
|
It would seem by this that Paul's adversaries boasted of their relation
|
|
to Christ as his ministers and servants. Now the apostle reasons thus
|
|
with the Corinthians: "Suppose it to be so, allowing what they say to
|
|
be true (and let us observe that, in fair arguing, we should allow all
|
|
that may be reasonably granted, and should not think it impossible but
|
|
those who differ from us very much may yet belong to Christ, as well as
|
|
we), allowing them," might the apostle say, "what they boast of, yet
|
|
they ought also to allow this to us, that <I>we also are Christ's.</I>"
|
|
Note,
|
|
|
|
1. We must not, by the most charitable allowances we make to others who
|
|
differ from us, cut ourselves off from Christ, nor deny our relation to
|
|
him. For,
|
|
|
|
2. There is room in Christ for many; and those who differ much from one
|
|
another may yet be one in him. It would help to heal the differences
|
|
that are among us if we would remember that, how confident soever we
|
|
may be that we belong to Christ, yet, at the same time, we must allow
|
|
that those who differ from us may belong to Christ too, and therefore
|
|
should be treated accordingly. We must not think that we are the
|
|
people, and that none belong to Christ but ourselves. This we may plead
|
|
for ourselves, against those who judge us and despise us that, how weak
|
|
soever we are, yet, as they are Christ's, so are we: we profess the
|
|
same faith, we walk by the same rule, we build upon the same
|
|
foundation, and hope for the same inheritance.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
II. His authority from Christ as an apostle. This he had mentioned
|
|
before
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Co+10:6"><I>v.</I> 6</A>),
|
|
|
|
and now he tells them that he might speak of it again, and that with
|
|
some sort of boasting, seeing it was a truth, that the <I>Lord had
|
|
given it to him,</I> and it was more than his adversaries could justly
|
|
pretend to. It was certainly what he should not be ashamed of,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Co+10:8"><I>v.</I> 8</A>.
|
|
|
|
Concerning this observe,
|
|
|
|
1. The nature of his authority: it was for <I>edification, and not for
|
|
destruction.</I> This indeed is the end of all authority, civil and
|
|
ecclesiastical, and was the end of that extraordinary authority which
|
|
the apostles had, and of all church-discipline.
|
|
|
|
2. The caution with which he speaks of his authority, professing that
|
|
his design was not to terrify them with big words, nor by angry
|
|
letters,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Co+10:9"><I>v.</I> 9</A>.
|
|
|
|
Thus he seems to obviate an objection that might have been formed
|
|
against him,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Co+10:10"><I>v.</I> 10</A>.
|
|
|
|
But the apostle declares he did not intend to frighten those who were
|
|
obedient, nor did he write any thing in his letters that he was not
|
|
able to make good by deeds against the disobedient; and he would have
|
|
his adversaries <I>know this</I>
|
|
|
|
(<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Co+10:11"><I>v.</I> 11</A>),
|
|
|
|
that he would, by the exercise of his apostolical power committed to
|
|
him, make it appear to have a real efficacy.</P>

<P>

<FONT SIZE=+1>12 For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare

ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring

themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among
|
|
themselves, are not wise.
|
|
13 But we will not boast of things without <I>our</I> measure, but
|
|
according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed
|
|
to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
|
|
14 For we stretch not ourselves beyond <I>our measure,</I> as though
|
|
we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in
|
|
<I>preaching</I> the gospel of Christ:
|
|
15 Not boasting of things without <I>our</I> measure, <I>that is,</I> 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,
|
|
16 To preach the gospel in the <I>regions</I> beyond you, <I>and</I> not
|
|
to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.
|
|
17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
|
|
18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the
|
|
Lord commendeth.

</FONT></P>

|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
In these verses observe,</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
I. The apostle refuses to justify himself, or to act by such rules as
|
|
the false apostles did,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Co+10:12"><I>v.</I> 12</A>.
|
|
|
|
He plainly intimates that they took a wrong method to commend
|
|
themselves, in <I>measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing
|
|
themselves among themselves,</I> which was <I>not wise.</I> They were
|
|
pleased, and did pride themselves, in their own attainments, and never
|
|
considered those who far exceeded them in gifts and graces, in power
|
|
and authority; and this made them haughty and insolent. Note, If we
|
|
would compare ourselves with others who excel us, this would be a good
|
|
method to keep us humble; we should be pleased and thankful for what we
|
|
have of gifts or graces, but never pride ourselves therein, as if there
|
|
were none to be compared with us or that did excel us. The apostle
|
|
would not be of the number of such vain men: let us resolve that we
|
|
will not make ourselves of that number.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
II. He fixes a better rule for his conduct, namely, <I>not to boast of
|
|
things without his measure,</I> which was the measure <I>God had
|
|
distributed</I> to him,
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Co+10:13"><I>v.</I> 13</A>.
|
|
|
|
His meaning is, either that he would not boast of more gifts or graces,
|
|
or power and authority, than God had really bestowed on him; or,
|
|
rather, that he would not act beyond his commission as to persons or
|
|
things, nor go beyond the line prescribed to him, which he plainly
|
|
intimates the false apostles did, while they <I>boasted of other men's
|
|
labors.</I> The apostle's resolution was to keep within his own
|
|
province, and that compass of ground which God had marked out for him.
|
|
His commission as an apostle was to preach the gospel every where,
|
|
especially among the Gentiles, and he was not confined to one place;
|
|
yet he observed the directions of Providence, and the Holy Spirit, as
|
|
to the particular places whither he went or where he did abide.</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
|
|
III. He acted according to this rule: <I>We stretch not ourselves
|
|
beyond our measure,</I>
|
|

And, particularly, he acted according to this rule in preaching at
|
|
Corinth, and in the exercise of his apostolical authority there; for he
|
|
came thither by divine direction, and there he converted many to
|
|
Christianity; and, therefore, in boasting of them as his charge, he
|
|
acted not contrary to his rule, he boasted not of <I>other men's
|
|
labours,</I>

IV. He declares his success in observing this rule. His hope was that
|
|
their faith was increased, and that others beyond them, even in the
|
|
remoter parts of Achaia, would embrace the gospel also; and in all this
|
|
he exceeded not his commission, nor acted in another man's line.</P>

V. He seems to check himself in this matter, as if he had spoken too
|
|
much in his own praise. The unjust accusations and reflections of his
|
|
enemies had made it needful he should justify himself; and the wrong
|
|
methods they took gave him good occasion to mention the better rule he
|
|
had observed: yet he is afraid of boasting, or taking any praise to
|
|
himself, and therefore he mentions two things which ought to be
|
|
regarded:--
|
|
|
|
1. <I>He that glorieth should glory in the Lord,</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Co+10:17"><I>v.</I> 17</A>.
|
|
|
|
If we are able to fix good rules for our conduct, or act by them, or
|
|
have any good success in so doing, the praise and glory of all are
|
|
owing unto God. Ministers in particular must be careful not to glory in
|
|
their performances, but must give God the glory of their work, and the
|
|
success thereof.
|
|
|
|
2. <I>Not he that commendeth himself is approved, but he whom the Lord
|
|
commendeth,</I>
|
|
|
|
<A HREF="http://bible.gospelcom.net/bible?version=KJV&passage=2Co+10:18"><I>v.</I> 18</A>.
|
|
|
|
Of all flattery, self-flattery is the worst, and self-applause is
|
|
seldom any better than self-flattery and self-deceit. At the best,
|
|
self-commendation is no praise, and it is oftentimes as foolish and
|
|
vain as it is proud; therefore, instead of praising or commending
|
|
ourselves, we should strive to approve ourselves to God, and his
|
|
approbation will be our best commendation.</P>
