ACC ~ 2 Corinthians 11 v19

PRIDE IN CIRCUMCISION. AMBROSIASTER: Paul gives the name of fools to those who prided themselves in the circumcision of the flesh. It was because these people were accepted by the Corinthians that Paul wants them to recognize that he too can boast of this. But he does not glorify himself as a result. On the contrary, he points out that such boasting is foolish and worldly. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

RIDICULING FOLLY. CHRYSOSTOM: To boast about such things was a sign of foolishness, and Paul ridicules them accordingly. HOMILIES ON THE EPISTLES OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS 24.2.
