Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
Would to God - Greek, 'I would that.'
Bear with me - I may not unreasonably ask to be borne with: not so the false apostles. (2 Corinthians 11:4; 2 Corinthians 11:20).
My. So 'Aleph (') G f g, Vulgate. B Delta omit "my" х tees (G3588)].
Folly. The Greek is a milder term than "foolishness" (1 Corinthians 3:19; Matthew 5:22; Matthew 25:2). The х afrosunee (G877)] "folly" here implies imprudence; the Greek [moria] "foolishness," includes perversity and wickedness.
And indeed bear. A request (so 2 Corinthians 11:16). But the sense favours, 'But indeed ye do bear with me:" still I wish you to bear with me further, in entering into self-commendations.
