ACC ~ 2 Corinthians 12 v12

HIS PATIENCE. AMBROSIASTER: Paul humbles himself only to rise to his true height. He talks about his patience because for a long time he put up with them as if they were sick people. His intention was to cure them of their errors by using the medicine of signs and wonders. COMMENTARY ON PAUL’S EPISTLES.

SIGNS OF AN APOSTLE. CHRYSOSTOM: Notice that Paul says that all these things were done in great patience, for to bear all things nobly is the sign of an apostle. HOMILIES ON THE EPISTLES OF PAUL TO THE CORINTHIANS 27.1.

ATTITUDES MATTER MORE THAN ABILITIES. THEODORET OF CYR: Paul rightly puts patience before signs and wonders, because attitudes matter more than abilities. COMMENTARY ON THE SECOND EPISTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS 350.
