Οὐ, not) We do not commend ourselves, 2Co 3:1; although they who perish think so.-γὰρ, for) The fault of their blindness does not lie at our door.-Κυρίον, δούλους, the Lord; servants) An antithesis: we do not preach ourselves as masters; comp. 2Co 1:24.-δούλους ὑμῶν, your servants) Hence Paul is accustomed to prefer the Corinthians to himself, 2Co 4:12-13.-διὰ Ἰησοῦν, for Jesus’ sake) The majesty of Christians is derived from Him.
