哥林多後書 12:5

5 為 這 人 ， 我 要 誇 口 ； 但 是 為 我 自 己 ， 除 了 我 的 軟 弱 以 外 ， 我 並 不 誇 口 。

哥林多後書 12:5 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 12:5

Of such an one will I glory
The apostle in great modesty seems to speak of some other person, and not himself, as caught up into the third heaven, when he yet means himself; and does as it were distinguish himself from himself; himself in paradise from himself on earth; his sense is, that though he might lawfully glory of such a person so highly exalted and favoured, yet since this was his own case, he chose to forbear, and say no more of it:

yet of myself I will not glory;
though he could, and might, and did glory in the Lord, who had done such great things for him; as that he was in Christ, and knew himself to be so, had been rapt up into heaven, and heard things unutterable; yet he would not glory of these things as from himself, as owing to any merit or worthiness of his, but as instances of mere favour, grace, and goodness; if he gloried of anything of himself in his present state and condition, it should be of his weaknesses:

but in mine infirmities;
not his sinful ones, for these he mourned over, and was humbled before God and man under a sense of; but his many pressing difficulties of life, heavy reproaches, very great afflictions, and violent persecutions he endured for Christ's sake; see ( 2 Corinthians 12:10 ) .

哥林多後書 12:5 In-Context

3 我 認 得 這 人 ； 或 在 身 內 ， 或 在 身 外 ， 我 都 不 知 道 ， 只 有 神 知 道 。

4 他 被 提 到 樂 園 裡 ， 聽 見 隱 祕 的 言 語 ， 是 人 不 可 說 的 。

5 為 這 人 ， 我 要 誇 口 ； 但 是 為 我 自 己 ， 除 了 我 的 軟 弱 以 外 ， 我 並 不 誇 口 。

6 我 就 是 願 意 誇 口 也 不 算 狂 ， 因 為 我 必 說 實 話 ； 只 是 我 禁 止 不 說 ， 恐 怕 有 人 把 我 看 高 了 ， 過 於 他 在 我 身 上 所 看 見 所 聽 見 的 。

7 又 恐 怕 我 因 所 得 的 啟 示 甚 大 ， 就 過 於 自 高 ， 所 以 有 一 根 刺 加 在 我 肉 體 上 ， 就 是 撒 但 的 差 役 要 攻 擊 我 ， 免 得 我 過 於 自 高 。
