2 Corinthians 12:9 - Exposition

And he said unto me. The original is much more forcible: "And he has said to me." Is sufficient for thee. A similar phrase, though in a very different context, occurs in Deuteronomy 3:26 . My strength is made perfect in weakness . The verse contains a paradox, which yet describes the best history of the world. The paradox becomes more suggestive if, with א , A, B, D, F, G, we omit " my ." May rest upon me; literally, may tabernacle over me . The compound verb occurs here alone, but the simple verb and the substantive occur in similar meanings in John 1:14 ; Revelation 7:15 ; Revelation 21:3 .
