Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 2 Corinthians 12:1-12
3. By revelations, divine infliction, and miracles, 2 Corinthians 12:1-12. As it becomes not him to glory, he relates the revelations as being another man’s, avoiding any undue personal exaltation from them, 2 Corinthians 12:1-6. He emphasizes the thorn in the flesh as his self-humiliating glory, 2 Corinthians 12:7-10. He apologizes for even this glorying, and yet refers to their own memories for apostolic miracles wrought by him among them, 2 Corinthians 12:11-12. read more
