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 ). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-21" class="com-number"
