2 Corinthians 10:1
Judaizing False Teachers Rebuked
SUMMARY OF II CORINTHIANS 10: Paul's Personal Appeal. His Weapons
Spiritual. What Was Said of His Bodily Presence. What He Will Be
When Present. Concerning Boasting. The Saint May Glorify in the Lord
Only.
Now I Paul. Thus far in this epistle Paul has associated himself
with Timothy and his fellow-laborers (2 Corinthians 1:1). He has spoken in the
plural. Now he uses the singular, and there will be seen in the 10th
and 11th chapters a tone of severity contrasted with the gentleness and
love of those that precede. Those chapters are addressed to the church
which had as a body cleared itself of fault. There was, however, a
faction who opposed him, who disparaged his claims as an apostle, and
he now speaks for the benefit of these. This accounts for the change of
style and tone. Since the opposition was to him personally, he speaks
in person. I repeat what has been before said, that this opposition
came mainly from the Judaizing Christians who thought Paul had gone
wrong in not requiring Gentile Christians to come under the bondage of
the Jewish law.
Who in presence [am] base among you. Lowly. His first letter had
been stern. See 1 Corinthians 5:11-13. The opposers said that he was very
gentle when present, but bold when absent.
