2 Corinthians 2:11 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.

Ver. 11. Lest Satan] That wily merchant, that greedy bloodsucker, that devoureth not widows' houses, but most men's souls, see 2 Corinthians 2:7. πλεονεκτηθωμεν .

For we are not ignorant] He is but a titular Christian that hath not personal experience of Satan's stratagems, νοηματα, his set and composed machinations, his artificially moulded methods, his plots, darts, depths, whereby he outwitted our first parents, and fits us a penny's worth still, as he sees reason.
