ACC ~ 2 Corinthians 10 v7

INFLATED PRIDE. AMBROSIASTER: Paul is criticizing those who in the inflated pride of their own presumption have a lower opinion of him than he deserved and who imagined that they had no need of his teaching. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

BELONGING TO CHRIST. PELAGIUS: No one is more foolish than the person who thinks that he alone belongs to Christ. COMMENTARY ON THE SECOND EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 10.

DECEIVERS AND DECEIVED. CHRYSOSTOM: Paul criticizes not only the deceivers but the deceived as well, for they are also accountable for their actions. Furthermore, he rebukes each one in the way which is most appropriate to their case. Those who imagine they belong to Christ must consider who Paul belongs to. If the answer is also Christ, then they must listen to what he has to say to them. HOMILIES ON THE EPISTLES OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS 22.1.

APPEARANCES ONLY. GENNADIUS OF CONSTANTINOPLE: This is to be read as a censorious remark, for the people were not judging the truth from works but from superficial appearances only. PAULINE COMMENTARY FROM THE GREEK CHURCH.
