This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
My defence (hē emē apologia). Original sense, not idea of apologizing as we say. See note on Act 22:1; note on Act 25:16. Refers to what precedes and to what follows as illustration of 1Co 8:13.
To them that examine me (tois eme anakrinousin). See note on 1Co 2:15; note on 1Co 4:3. The critics in Corinth were “investigating” Paul with sharp eyes to find faults. How often the pastor is under the critic’s spy-glass.
