Commentary on 2 Corinthians 10:14

Theological / Devotional

We stretch not ourselves. That is, we are not exceeding the bounds of our appointed sphere of labor.

Reached not unto you. That is, as though Corinth were beyond Paul’s assigned territory. Macedonia and Greece were within his designated sphere of action (Acts 16:9, 10). Thus it was by divine appointment that he was first to preach the gospel at Corinth. In opposing him there, the false leaders at Corinth proved themselves to be usurpers — without commission, without authority, without valid credentials. Their only equipment consisted of their own conceited claims.
