For you put up with fools gladly, seeing you yourselves are wise.
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 11:19 Go To 2 Corinthians 11
Cornelius a Lapide
AD 1637
For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise. Irony. You have foolishly suffered the boastings of these vain-glorious false apostles; I hope that you will suffer me to glory wisely and usefully among them that are wise. Theophylact, however, and Anselm think that this is said seriously, in the way of exaggerated rebuke. Since you are wise in Christ, you ought to have exploded the folly of the false apostles. Why, then, do you gladly suffer them?
