• the Lord had rejoiced his heart with much people, even in that corrupt city, brought to the knowledge of Himself. This was: a work of divine power and goodness, but some had risen up or entered in since the apostle's departure, whose worldly spirit depreciated the work, and claimed superior power. If Paul had begun, they were the men to finish. Was he not indeed too ready to begin and leave his work incomplete as he roved from place to place? (“Notes on 2 Corinthians 10:7-12” by W. Kelly)
• The apostle had traversed many lands, planting the standard and proclaiming the good news of Christ in them all. He had done so as far as Corinth to the joy of many. (“Notes on 2 Corinthians 10:13-18” by W. Kelly)
