2 Corinthians 12:1 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

I will come to visions, &c.— The Apostle's speaking of his visions and revelations, which, indeed, did him the highest honour, could not be a proof that he was determined not to vindicate himself: it is evident, therefore, that the word γαρ in the original [ελευσομαι γαρ] cannot have its original signification, and be rendered for. Our translators take it for a mere expletive. Dr. Doddridge translates it nevertheless; and it is certain that it has various significations, and must have this signification here, if it express any thing. Some would read the verse, Is it not expedient for me to glory?—I will come therefore to visions, &c.

2 Corinthians 12:1
