ὁ δὲ καυχώμενος κ. τ. λ.: but he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord, a quotation from the O.T. (see reff.) used before by St. Paul (cf. also Romans 15:18; 1 Corinthians 3:7). For not he that commendeth himself is approved (cf. Proverbs 27:2), but whom the Lord commendeth (cf. Romans 2:29; 1 Corinthians 4:5). And the Corinthian Church itself is his “letter of commendation” (2 Corinthians 3:2).
