Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on 2 Corinthians 11:29

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

29. I . . . weak —in condescending sympathy with the weak ( :- ). " Care generates sympathy, which causes the minister of Christ personally to enter into the feelings of all his people, as if he stood in their position, so as to accommodate himself to all" [CALVIN]. offended —by some stumbling-block put in his way by others: the "weak" is most liable to be "offended." I burn not —The "I" in the Greek is emphatic, which it is not in the former clause, "I am not weak." I not only enter into the feeling of the party offended, but I burn with indignation at the offender, I myself taking up his cause as my own. "Who meets with a stumbling-block and I am not disturbed even more than himself" [NEANDER]. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-30" class="com-number"
