I wish that you could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.

Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
SYNOPSIS OF THE CHAPTER
i. After declaring his love for the Corinthians, he proceeds (ver4) to defend his apostleship against the false apostles, pointing out that they had bestowed no more of the Spirit, nor given more Christian doctrine than S. Paul.
ii. He says, moreover (ver7), that they preached the Gospel for the sake of gain, but he freely.
iii. He insists (ver22) on his being equally with them a Hebrew, and what they were not, a minister of Christ. He then enumerates the marks of his apostleship, his labours for Christ, his persecutions, scourgings, sufferings, anxieties, and the care of all the Churches, and in them all he glories.
