This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I must needs glory (kauchasthai dei). This is the reading of B L Latin Syriac, but Aleph D Bohairic have de while K M read dē. The first is probably correct. He must go on with the glorying already begun, foolish as it is, though it is not expedient (ou sumpheron).
Visions (optasias). Late word from optazō. See Luk 1:22; note on Act 26:19.
Revelations of the Lord (apokalupseis Kuriou). Unveilings (from apokaluptō as in Rev 1:1). See note on 2Th 1:7; 1Co 1:7; 1Co 14:26. Paul had both repeated visions of Christ (Act 9:3; Act 16:9; Act 18:9; Act 22:17; Act 27:23.) and revelations. He claimed to speak by direct revelation (1Co 11:23; 1Co 15:3; Gal 1:12; Eph 3:3, etc.).
