2 Corinthians 11:29 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Who is offended,— "So as to be led into sin by the rashness or uncharitableness of others; and I am not fired — with grief and indignation, to see such dishonour brought upon religion, and with zeal to repress the grievance, if possible?" The word Πυρουμαι properly signifies to be fired; and it may, perhaps, in this connection, allude to the sudden hurry of spirits into which a man is put by the dangerous fall of a person whom he tenderly loves, especially when occasioned by the carelessness and folly of another.
