PNT: 11:19 For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye [yourselves] are wise. See 1Co 4:10. It was a part of their superior wisdom to tolerate fools. This is perhaps said in derision. It is explained in 2Co 11:20.
WES: 11:19 Being wise - A beautiful irony.
MHC: 11:16-21 It is the duty and practice of Christians to humble themselves, in obedience to the command and example of the Lord; yet prudence must direct in what it is needful to do things which we may do lawfully, even the speaking of what God has wrought for us, and in us, and by us. Doubtless here is reference to facts in which the character of the false apostles had been shown. It is astonishing to see how such men bring their followers into bondage, and how they take from them and insult them.
