Corinthians 11:2"> 2 Pues que os celo con celo de Dios; porque os he desposado á un marido, para presentaros como una virgen pura á Cristo. Corinthians 11:3"> 3 Mas temo que como la serpiente engaño á Eva con su astucia, sean corrompidos así vuestros sentidos en alguna manera, de la simplicidad que es en Cristo. Corinthians 11:4"> 4 Porque si el que viene, predicare otro Jesús que el que hemos predicado, ó recibiereis otro espíritu del que habéis recibido, ú otro evangelio del que habéis aceptado, lo sufrierais bien. Corinthians 11:5"> 5 Cierto pienso que en nada he sido inferior á aquellos grandes apóstoles. Corinthians 11:6"> 6 Porque aunque soy basto en la palabra, empero no en la ciencia: mas en todo somos ya del todo manifiestos á vosotros. Corinthians 11:7"> 7 ¿Pequé yo humillándome á mí mismo, para que vosotros fueseis ensalzados, porque os he predicado el evangelio de Dios de balde? Corinthians 11:8"> 8 He despojado las otras iglesias, recibiendo salario para ministraros á vosotros. Corinthians 11:9"> 9 Y estando con vosotros y teniendo necesidad, á ninguno fuí carga; porque lo que me faltaba, suplieron los hermanos que vinieron de Macedonia: y en todo me guardé de seros gravoso, y me guardaré. Corinthians 11:10"> 10 Es la verdad de Cristo en mí, que esta gloria no me será cerrada en las partes de Acaya. Corinthians 11:11"> 11 ¿Por qué? ¿porque no os amo? Dios lo sabe. Corinthians 11:12"> 12 Mas lo que hago, haré aún, para cortar la ocasión de aquellos que la desean, á fin de que en aquello que se glorían, sean hallados semejantes á nosotros. Corinthians 11:13"> 13 Porque éstos son falsos apóstoles, obreros fraudulentos, trasfigurándose en apóstoles de Cristo. Corinthians 11:14"> 14 Y no es maravilla, porque el mismo Satanás se transfigura en ángel de luz. Corinthians 11:15"> 15 Así que, no es mucho si también sus ministros se transfiguran como ministros de justicia; cuyo fin será conforme á sus obras. Corinthians 11:16"> 16 Otra vez digo: Que nadie me estime ser loco; de otra manera, recibidme como á loco, para que aun me gloríe yo un poquito. Corinthians 11:17"> 17 Lo que hablo, no lo hablo según el Señor, sino como en locura, con esta confianza de gloria. Corinthians 11:18"> 18 Pues que muchos se glorían según la carne, también yo me gloriaré. Corinthians 11:19"> 19 Porque de buena gana toleráis los necios, siendo vosotros sabios: Corinthians 11:20"> 20 Porque toleráis si alguno os pone en servidumbre, si alguno os devora, si alguno toma, si alguno se ensalza, si alguno os hiere en la cara. Corinthians 11:21"> 21 Dígolo cuanto á la afrenta, como si nosotros hubiésemos sido flacos. Empero en lo que otro tuviere osadía (hablo con locura), también yo tengo osadía. Corinthians 11:22"> 22 ¿Son Hebreos? yo también. ¿Son Israelitas? yo también. ¿Son simiente de Abraham? también yo. Corinthians 11:23"> 23 ¿Son ministros de Cristo? (como poco sabio hablo) yo más: en trabajos más abundante; en azotes sin medida; en cárceles más; en muertes, muchas veces. Corinthians 11:24"> 24 De los judíos cinco veces he recibido cuarenta azotes menos uno. Corinthians 11:25"> 25 Tres veces he sido azotado con varas; una vez apedreado; tres veces he padecido naufragio; una noche y un día he estado en lo profundo de la mar; Corinthians 11:26"> 26 En caminos muchas veces, peligros de ríos, peligros de ladrones, peligros de los de mi nación, peligros de los Gentiles, peligros en la ciudad, peligros en el desierto, peligros en la mar, peligros entre falsos hermanos; Corinthians 11:27"> 27 En trabajo y fatiga, en muchas vigilias, en hambre y sed, en muchos ayunos, en frío y en desnudez; Corinthians 11:28"> 28 Sin otras cosas además, lo que sobre mí se agolpa cada día, la solicitud de todas las iglesias. Corinthians 11:29"> 29 ¿Quién enferma, y yo no enfermo? ¿Quién se escandaliza, y yo no me quemo? Corinthians 11:30"> 30 Si es menester gloriarse, me gloriaré yo de lo que es de mi flaqueza. Corinthians 11:31"> 31 El Dios y Padre del Señor nuestro Jesucristo, que es bendito por siglos, sabe que no miento. Corinthians 11:32"> 32 En Damasco, el gobernador de la provincia del rey Aretas guardaba la ciudad de los Damascenos para prenderme; Corinthians 11:33"> 33 Y fuí descolgado del muro en un serón por una ventana, y escapé de sus manos.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Would to God you could bear with me a little,.... The false apostles boasted so much of their gifts, abilities, and usefulness, that the apostle found himself under a necessity of saying some things in his own defence, for the honour of God, and the good of this church; which otherwise his modesty would not have permitted him, and which he saw would be accounted and censured as folly in him by others; and therefore he entreats their patience a little while, and that they would suffer him to say a few things in vindication of his character, and not be offended; though it would be in commendation of himself, which, were he not forced to, would look vain and foolish: and therefore says,

bear with me a little in my folly, and which he presses with importunity,

and indeed bear with me; he insists upon it, he urges it as what he must not be denied in; for could he have avoided it, he would not have done it; but such was the case, that if he did not do it, he must greatly suffer in his character and usefulness; the members of this church would be in great danger from these false apostles, and the honour and glory of Christ lay greatly at stake; which when considered, he hoped his request would be granted: the last clause may be rendered, but also ye do bear with me; signifying that they had done so already, and continued to do so, and therefore he could not but encourage himself, that they still would bear with him a little longer, and in a few things more.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Would to God - Greek, “I would” (Ὄφελον Ophelon). This expresses earnest desire, but in the Greek there is no appeal to God. The sense would be well expressed by “O that,” or “I earnestly wish.”

Ye could bear with me - That you would bear patiently with me; that you would hear me patiently, and suffer me to speak of myself.

In my folly - Folly in boasting. The idea seems to be, “I know that boasting is generally foolish, and that it is not to be indulged in. But though it is to be generally regarded as folly, yet circumstances compel me to it, and I ask your indulgence in it.” It is possible also that his opponents accused him of folly in boasting so much of himself.

And indeed bear with me - Margin, “Ye do bear.” But the text has probably the correct rendering. It is the expression of an earnest wish that they would tolerate him a little in this. He entreats them to bear with him because he was constrained to it.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XI.

The apostle apologizes for expressing his jealousy relative to

the true state of the Corinthians; still fearing lest their

minds should have been drawn aside from the simplicity of the

Gospel, 1-3;

From this he takes occasion to extol his own ministry, which

had been without charge to them, having been supported by the

Churches of Macedonia while he preached the Gospel at Corinth,

4-11.

Gives the character of the false apostles, 12-16.

Shows what reasons he has to boast of secular advantages of

birth, education, Divine call to the ministry, labours in that

ministry, grievous persecutions, great sufferings, and

extraordinary hazards, 16-33.

NOTES ON CHAP. XI.

Verse 2 Corinthians 11:1. Would to God ye could bear with me — οφελον ηνειχεσθε μου μικρον. As the word God is not mentioned here, it would have been much better to have translated the passage literally thus: I wish ye could bear a little with me. The too frequent use of this sacred name produces a familiarity with it that is not at all conducive to reverence and godly fear.

In my folly — In my seeming folly; for, being obliged to vindicate his ministry, it was necessary that he should speak much of himself, his sufferings, and his success. And as this would appear like boasting; and boasting is always the effect of an empty, foolish mind; those who were not acquainted with the necessity that lay upon him to make this defence, might be led to impute it to vanity. As if he had said: Suppose you allow this to be folly, have the goodness to bear with me; for though I glory, I should not be a fool, 2 Corinthians 12:6. And let no man think me a fool for my boasting, 2 Corinthians 11:16.
