This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
30.If he must glory. Here we have the conclusion, drawn from all that has gone before — that Paul is more inclined to boast of those things that are connected with his infirmity, that is, those things which might, in the view of the world, bring him contempt, rather than glory, as, for example, hunger, thirst, imprisonments, stonings, stripes, and the like — those things, in truth, that we are usually as much ashamed of, as of things that incur great dishonor. (869)
(869) “De toutes lesquelles nous n’ point de honte coustumierement, que si nous estions vileinement diffamez;” — “ all which we feel ordinarily as much ashamed, as if we had been shockingly defamed.”
