21. as concerning reproach —rather, "by way of dishonor (that is, self-disparagement ) I say it." as though we . . . weak —in not similarly ( 2 Corinthians 11:20 ) showing our power over you. "An ironical reminiscence of his own abstinence when among them from all these acts of self-exaltation at their expense" (as if such abstinence was weakness) [ALFORD]. The "we" is emphatically contrasted with the false teachers who so oppressively displayed their power. I speak so as though WE had been weak when with you, because we did not show our power this way. Howbeit (we are not really weak; for), whereinsoever any is bold . . . I am bold also. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-22" class="com-number"
