This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
22 But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not.
Ver. 22. What I shall choose, I wot not] As a loving wife sent for by her husband far from home, and yet loth to leave her children, is in a muse and doubt what to do, so was the apostle. He had mortem in desiderio, et vitam in patientia (as Fulgentius hath it), he rather endured life than desired it, he accepted it rather than affected it.
