This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
If I should have a mind to glory, I should not be a fool; for I would not glory in things that were not true. And though a man, in speaking things of himself which are true, may sometimes betray folly (viz. where he doth it merely to set forth himself, and make himself to appear a greater person than indeed he is); yet for a man to glory of himself, where the honour of God is concerned in the vindication of himself from reproaches and calumnies, speaks not any folly.
But (saith the apostle) I forbear, having no desire that any should think of me above what he seeth in me, or heareth of me from others’ mouths, and not mine own.
