This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
2Co 10:15. Οὐκ εἰς, not in relation to) This is the beginning of the second member [See beginning of note 2Co 10:13], which, so far as the construction is concerned, is connected with the end of the first: comp. notes on Rom 8:1. We will not make an advance into any other man’s province, saying: These are mine.-αὐξανομένης, increasing) The present [as your faith is now increasing. But Engl. V. When your faith is increased]. Paul wished neither to leave the Corinthians before the proper time, nor to put off [preaching to] others too long.-ἐν ὑμῖν, in your case, [by you]) Our altogether solid and complete success in your case will give us an important step towards still farther successes.-μεγαλυνθῆναι-εὐαγγελίσασθαι) to be truly enlarged by preaching the Gospel [lit. So as to preach the Gospel]. To boast is in antithesis to both verbs conjointly, but especially to enlarged.-εἰς περισσείαν) abundantly.
