ἔστιν ἀλήθ. Χρ. κ. τ. λ.: as the Truth of Christ (we have ἡ ἀλήθ. τ. Θεοῦ, Romans 1:25; Romans 3:7; Romans 15:8; cf. John 14:6; Ephesians 4:21) is in me (for the form of the asseveration see on 2 Corinthians 1:18; Romans 9:1 is not a true parallel to the constr. here), this glorying, sc., in my independence, shall not be stopped, as far as I am concerned, in the regions of Achaia (see on 2 Corinthians 1:1); cf. 2 Corinthians 7:14. The true reading is φραγήσεται; φράσσειν is “to fence,” but in N.T. (Romans 3:19; Hebrews 11:33; cf. also Daniel 6:22) is used with στόμα in the sense of “to stop” the mouth.
