This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





Be as I am; for I am as ye are; be as friendly to me as I am to you: see the like phrase, 1Ki_22:4. But how doth the apostle say they had not injured him at all, when it is manifest they had defamed him?



Answer. He had forgiven, or was ready to forgive, this to them; he had no desire or design to be revenged on them. Or in this particular thing of Judaizing, for which he had been reflecting upon them, they had done him no personal injury; it was only his care for and love to their souls, which had drawn out this discourse from him; not any particular prejudice to them, or any desire he had to take any revenge upon them, for any personal injury done to himself.
