2
Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.
14
as also you acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.
1
Are we beginning again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as do some, letters of commendation to you or from you?
12
For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance, and not in heart.
4
but in everything commending ourselves, as servants of God, in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,
8
For though I should boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down) I will not be disappointed,
12
For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.
18
For it isn't he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.
12
But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them that desire an occasion, that in which they boast, they may be found even as we.
13
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ's apostles.
14
And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light.
15
It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.
16
I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.
1
It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. For I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2
I know a man in Christ, fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I don't know, or whether out of the body, I don't know; God knows), such a one caught up into the third heaven.
3
I know such a man (whether in the body, or outside of the body, I don't know; God knows),
4
how he was caught up into Paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
5
On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.
6
For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me, or hears from me.
7
By reason of the exceeding greatness of the revelations, that I should not be exalted excessively, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me, that I should not be exalted excessively.
8
Concerning this thing, I begged the Lord three times that it might depart from me.
9
He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.
11
I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for in nothing was I inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.
12
As many as desire to look good in the flesh, they compel you to be circumcised; only that they may not be persecuted for the cross of Christ.
13
For even they who receive circumcision don't keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.
14
But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
- En parlant de lui, Paul n'entend point se recommander à ses frères, (2Corinthiens 3.1 et suivants) il ne le croit pas nécessaire ; (verset 11) mais c'est afin de leur donner occasion de présenter à d'autres sa personne et son ministère sous leur vrai jour, et de se glorifier de son apostolat auprès de ceux qui le méconnaissent.
Qui a-t-il en vue ? Les faux docteurs qui portent, eux, leur gloire "sur leur visage," dans des apparences trompeuses, dans ce que les hommes voient, et non dans ce cœur dont Dieu seul sonde les secrets.
