فَإِنِّي وَإِنِ افْتَخَرْتُ شَيْئًا أَكْثَرَ بِسُلْطَانِنَا الَّذِي أَعْطَانَا إِيَّاهُ الرَّبُّ لِبُنْيَانِكُمْ لاَ لِهَدْمِكُمْ، لاَ أُخْجَلُ.

"For even if I were to boast somewhat more exceedingly (than I do, Co2 10:3-6) of our (apostolic) authority (Co2 10:6; Co2 13:10) . . . I should not be put to shame (by the fact; as I should be if my authority proved to be without foundation: my threats of punishment not being carried into effect)." for edification . . . not for . . . destruction--Greek, "for building up . . . not for . . . CASTING DOWN" (the same Greek as in Co2 10:5): the image of a building as in Co2 10:4-5. Though we "cast down reasonings," this is not in order to destroy, but really to build up ("edify"), by removing those things which are hindrances to edification, and testing what is unsound, and putting together all that is true in the building [CHRYSOSTOM].

Let not any of the ministers of Christ think it strange if they meet with perils, not only from enemies, but from false brethren; for blessed Paul himself did so. Though he was so blameless and inoffensive in all his carriage, so condescending and useful to all, yet there were those who bore him ill-will, who envied him, and did all they could to undermine him, and lesson his interest and reputation. Therefore he vindicates himself from their imputation, and arms the Corinthians against their insinuations. In this chapter the apostle, in a mild and humble manner, asserts the power of his preaching, and to punish offenders (Co2 10:1-6). He then proceeds to reason the case with the Corinthians, asserting his relation to Christ, and his authority as an apostle of Christ (Co2 10:7-11), and refuses to justify himself, or to act by such rules as the false teachers did, but according to the better rules he had fixed for himself (Co2 10:12 to the end).

لِذلِكَ أَكْتُبُ بِهذَا وَأَنَا غَائِبٌ، لِكَيْ لاَ أَسْتَعْمِلَ جَزْمًا وَأَنَا حَاضِرٌ، حَسَبَ السُّلْطَانِ الَّذِي أَعْطَانِي إِيَّاهُ الرَّبُّ لِلْبُنْيَانِ لاَ لِلْهَدْمِ.
لِهذَا السَّبَبِ أَحْتَمِلُ هذِهِ الأُمُورَ أَيْضًا. لكِنَّنِي لَسْتُ أَخْجَلُ، لأَنَّنِي عَالِمٌ بِمَنْ آمَنْتُ، وَمُوقِنٌ أَنَّهُ قَادِرٌ أَنْ يَحْفَظَ وَدِيعَتِي إِلَى ذلِكَ الْيَوْمِ.
لأَنَّنَا لاَ نَسْتَطِيعُ شَيْئًا ضِدَّ الْحَقِّ، بَلْ لأَجْلِ الْحَقِّ.
فَإِنِّي إِنْ أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَفْتَخِرَ لاَ أَكُونُ غَبِيًّا، لأَنِّي أَقُولُ الْحَقَّ. وَلكِنِّي أَتَحَاشَى لِئَلاَّ يَظُنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْ جِهَتِي فَوْقَ مَا يَرَانِي أَوْ يَسْمَعُ مِنِّي.
لَيْسَ أَنَّنَا نَسُودُ عَلَى إِيمَانِكُمْ، بَلْ نَحْنُ مُوازِرُونَ لِسُرُورِكُمْ. لأَنَّكُمْ بِالإِيمَانِ تَثْبُتُونَ.
بُولُسُ، رَسُولٌ لاَ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَلاَ بِإِنْسَانٍ، بَلْ بِيَسُوعَ الْمَسِيحِ وَاللهِ الآبِ الَّذِي أَقَامَهُ مِنَ الأَمْوَاتِ،
فَإِنِّي إِنْ كُنْتُ افْتَخَرْتُ شَيْئًا لَدَيْهِ مِنْ جِهَتِكُمْ لَمْ أُخْجَلْ، بَلْ كَمَا كَلَّمْنَاكُمْ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ بِالصِّدْقِ، كَذلِكَ افْتِخَارُنَا أَيْضًا لَدَى تِيطُسَ صَارَ صَادِقًا.
