2 Corinthians 10:10 Cross References - Mace

¹⁰ (for 'tis objected that my letters are weighty and powerful, but my bodily presence weak, and my preaching

¹⁷ for Christ did not send me to baptize: but to preach the gospel: tho' not with the preaching of the wise, lest the cross of Christ should have been hinder'd in its efficacy.

²¹ for whereas the world, with all their learning, did not distinguish the characters of his divine wisdom, in his works, it pleased God to save those who believe, by preaching, which they counted folly.

¹ As for me, my brethren, when I appear'd among you, it was not to represent to you the divine mystery in sublime language, and with human literature. ² for I did not think I was to have any other knowledge among you, than that of Christ, a crucified saviour. ³ I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in great agony: ⁴ my discourse, and my preaching did not consist in the persuasive reasonings of human wisdom, but in demonstrating the spiritual meaning of the scriptures:

¹ I who am a person of a mean presence, when among you, but exert myself upon your account, when absent; I Paul intreat you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, not to let me exert that authority,

⁶ if my language is inelegant, my knowledge is not contemptible; but has been fully display'd among you on all occasions.

⁵ I might glory in being the man; but I will not glory in any thing relating to myself, unless it be my sufferings. ⁶ tho' if I had a mind to glory, I might do it without vanity, for I should say nothing but what is true: but now I forbear, lest any man should ascribe more to me than my actions, or my preaching can justify. ⁷ and lest I should be exalted above measure by the extraordinary revelations I have had, I was afflicted in my person, so that the messenger of satan insulted me; concerning which, ⁸ I besought the Lord thrice, to make him leave me. ⁹ but he said to me, "my favour is sufficient for thee: for my strength is shown to be perfect by thy weakness." with pleasure therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may be seen to dwell in me.

¹³ It is not you that have done me any injury: tho' you knew through what infirmity of the flesh I heretofore preached the gospel to you, ¹⁴ yet you did not despise me for the trial which attended my person, nor treated me with scorn; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
