2 Corinzi 11:10

10 La verità di Cristo è in me, che questo vanto non sarà turato in me nelle contrade dell’Acaia.

2 Corinzi 11:10 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 11:10

As the truth of Christ is in me
To show the firmness of his resolution, and how determined he was to abide by it, he joins an oath to it; for these words are the form of an oath; and it is as if he should say, as sure as Christ is truth, who is in me; or as that the truth of grace, or the truth of the Gospel of Christ is in my heart and mouth, so sure will I constantly persevere in this determination; or let the truth of Christ never be thought to be in me, if I do not:

no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia;
or this boasting shall not be stopped in me; of preaching the Gospel freely at Corinth, and that he had not been chargeable and burdensome to them; nor would he be for time to come, neither there, nor in any part of Achaia, of which Corinth was the metropolis; (See Gill on 2 Corinthians 9:2). No man should stop his mouth from boasting of this, by putting anything into his hands, for he was determined not to receive anything from any person in these climates; not but that he reserved a liberty in himself to receive from other persons and churches, for his comfortable subsistence, and so much the limitation of his resolution to these parts implies; for if he had not intended to have received a supply from any persons whatever, the restriction to the regions of Achaia would have been unnecessary; and he should rather have said, that no man should stop him of this boasting in any part of the world. The Vulgate Latin version reads, "this boasting shall not be broken"; and to the same sense the Syriac version, "this boasting shall not be abolished".

2 Corinzi 11:10 In-Context

8 Io ho predate le altre chiese, prendendo salario per servire a voi.

9 Ed anche, essendo appresso di voi, ed avendo bisogno, non sono stato grave ad alcuno; perciocchè i fratelli, venuti di Macedonia, hanno supplito al mio bisogno; ed in ogni cosa mi son conservato senza esservi grave, ed anche per l’avvenire mi conserverò.

10 La verità di Cristo è in me, che questo vanto non sarà turato in me nelle contrade dell’Acaia.

11 Perchè? forse perciocchè io non v’amo? Iddio lo sa.

12 Anzi ciò che io fo, lo farò ancora, per toglier l’occasione a coloro che desiderano occasione; acciocchè in ciò che si gloriano sieno trovati quali noi ancora.
