2 Corinthians 11:1, Out of his jealousy over the Corinthians, who seemed to make more account of the false apostles than of him, he enters into a forced commendation of himself, 2 Corinthians 11:5, of his equality with the chief apostles, 2 Corinthians 11:7, of his preaching the gospel to them freely, and without any charge to them; 2 Corinthians 11:13, shewing that he was not inferior to those deceitful workers in any legal prerogative; 2 Corinthians 11:23, and in the service of Christ, and in all kinds of sufferings for his ministry, far superior.
