Verse. 10. For now preach I mans doctrine or Gods?
Verse. 10. For novve preach I mans doctrine or Gods?
These words are spoken with the same vehemency that the former were. As if he would say: Am I Paul so unknown amongest you, which have preached so openly in your churches? Are my bitter conflicts and so many sharp battles against the Jews, yet unknown unto you? It appeareth, I think, sufficiently unto you by my preaching, by so many and great afflictions which I have suffered, whether I serve men or God. 1For all men see that by this my preaching I have not only stirred up persecution against me in every place, but have also procured the cruel hatred both of mine own nation and of all other men. I show therefore plainly enough that I seek not by my preaching the favour or liking of men, but to set forth the goodness and glory of God.
