13. By the experiment of that administration The term experiment here, as in a variety of other places, means proof or trial (733) For it was a sufficient token for bringing the love of the Corinthians to the test, — that they were so liberal to brethren that were at a great distance from them. Paul, however, extends it farther — to their concurrent obedience in the gospel. (734) For by such proofs we truly manifest, that we are obedient to the doctrine of the gospel. Now their concurrence appears from this — that alms are conferred with the common consent of all. (733) “ Tesmoignage, enseignement, ou experience ;” — “Proof, voucher, or trial.” (734) “ Leur obeissance qu’ils rendoyent tons d’vn accord a l’euangile ;” — “Their obedience which they rendered, all with one accord, to the gospel.” return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-14" class="com-number"
