In excusing myself, I do not accuse you, as though you suspected me of such things [MENOCHIUS], or as though you were guilty of such things; for I speak only of the false apostles [ESTIUS and Greek commentators]. Rather, "as though you were ungrateful and treacherous" [BEZA].
I have said before—in II Corinthians 6:11-12; compare Philippians 1:7.
die and live with you—the height of friendship. I am ready to die and live with you and for you (Philippians 1:7, Philippians 1:20, Philippians 1:24; Philippians 2:17-18). Compare as to Christ, John 10:11.
