This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

13 But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.



Ver. 13. But we will not boast, &c.] As any man is more worthy, he is more modest: full vessels yield no such sound as empty casks do.

The good ear of grain, the fuller it is, the lower it hangs the head.
