This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I protest by that glorying in you (nē tēn humeteran kauchēsin). No word for “I protest.” Paul takes solemn oath by the use of nē (common in Attic) with the accusative. Only here in N.T., but in lxx (Genesis 42:15f.). For other solemn oaths by Paul see 2Co 1:18; 2Co 1:23; 2Co 11:10.; 2Co 11:31; Rom 9:1. For kauchēsis see note on 1Th 2:19. The possessive pronoun (humeteran) is objective as emēn in 1Co 11:24.
I die daily (kath' hēmeran apothnēskō). I am in daily peril of death (2Co 4:11; 2Co 11:23; Rom 8:36).
