This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Think (δοκεῖ)
Sometimes rendered seems, 1Co 12:22; 2Co 10:9; Gal 2:9; but think is Paul's usual meaning. Comp. Mat 3:9; 1Co 11:16; Phi 3:4.
To be something (εἶναί τι)
For the phrase see Act 5:36; Act 8:9; 1Co 3:7; 1Co 10:19; Gal 2:6; Gal 6:15.
Deceiveth (φρεναπατᾷ)
N.T.o. olxx, oClass. See the noun φεναπάτης deceiver, Tit 1:10. Denoting subjective deception; deception of the judgment. The simple ἀπατᾶν to deceive, Eph 5:6; 1Ti 2:14; Jam 1:26, and often in lxx. Lightfoot thinks the compound verb may possibly have been coined by Paul.
