2 Corinthians 11:10

2 Corinthians 11:10

8 I robbed other churches, taking wages from them to minister to you.

9 And when I was present with you, and in need, ^aI was a burden to no one, for what I lacked ^bthe brethren who came from Macedonia supplied. And in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself.

10 ^aAs the truth of Christ is in me, ^bno one shall stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

11 Why? ^aBecause I do not love you? God knows!

12 But what I do, I will also continue to do, ^athat I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast.

No man shall stop me of this glorying (h kauxhsiv auth ou fraghsetai eiv eme). More exactly, "This glorying shall not be fenced in as regards me." Second future passive of frassw, to fence in, to stop, to block in. Old verb, only here in N.T.

In the regions of Achaia (en toiv klimasin thv Axaiav). Klima from klinw, to incline, is Koin‚ word for declivity slope, region (our climate). See chapter 1Co. 9 for Paul's boast about preaching the gospel without cost to them.
