2 Corinthiërs 10:17 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 10:17

But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
] Not in himself, nor in his outward circumstances of life, or inward endowments of mind; not in his natural or acquired parts; not in his wisdom, knowledge, learning, and eloquence; nor in his own righteousness, labours, and services, much less in other men's labours; nor in his own sense of himself; nor in the opinion and popular applause of others; but in the Lord Jesus Christ, as the author and donor of all gifts, natural and spiritual; in his wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption; and in his judgment and approbation of men and things, which sense the following words direct unto.

2 Corinthiërs 10:17 In-Context

15 Niet roemende buiten de maat in anderer lieden arbeid, maar hebbende hoop, als uw geloof zal gewassen zijn, dat wij onder ulieden overvloediglijk zullen vergroot worden naar onzen regel;

16 Om het Evangelie te verkondigen in de plaatsen, die op gene zijde van u gelegen zijn; niet om te roemen in eens anders regel over hetgeen alrede bereid is.

17 Doch wie roemt, die roeme in den Heere.

18 Want niet die zichzelven prijst, maar dien de Heere prijst, die is beproefd.
