This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Co 10:10. Φησὶ) saith he [one], viz. he, who thus speaks: viz. he, who is mentioned at 2Co 10:11. The concealed slanderer is intended, whom the Lord, or even Paul, by the Lord’s pointing him out, saw. There was such a slanderer also among the Galatians; Gal 5:10.-βαρεῖαι, weighty) the antithesis is contemptible.-ἰσχυραὶ, powerful) the antithesis is weak.-παρουσία, his presence) This was an instance of the same truth embodied in the saying of the present day: One’s presence diminishes one’s fame. The Anthologium of the Greek Church for the 29th day of June has a commemoration of Peter and Paul, with a representation of the form of both the apostles, and, so far as Paul is concerned, it agrees well enough with this passage.-ἀσθενὴς, weak) occasioning no fear to the spectators.
