Commentary on 2 Corinthians 3:4

Theological / Devotional

Such trust. Paul’s literal-minded critics had misinterpreted his confidence and sufficiency as boasting and self-commendation. On the contrary, his confidence was the result of his consciousness of being under the constant guidance and influence of Christ (cf. ch. 5:14). Therefore, all honor and praise belonged to Christ, not to him. Foolish, vain self-confidence is a vice, but confidence in God is a great Christian virtue (1 Cor. 13:13; Gal. 5:22, 23). The first boastfully credits to self all success in the ministry, the other humbly credits it to God.
