Commentaries and Concordances

GSB:

12:5 {2} Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I will not glory, but in mine infirmities.
(2) To remove all suspicion of seeking glory, he witnesses that he brags not of those things as though they were of himself, but as outside of himself. And yet nonetheless he pretends nothing, lest by this occasion other men should attribute to him more than he indeed is: and therefore he would rather glory in his miseries.

PNT:

12:5 Of such one will I glory. One so favored had ground for boasting.
Yet of myself I will not glory. While he glories of such an one, if he glories of himself it will be in his weaknesses. But of himself personally he will not glory, save
in my infirmities. See PNT 2Co 11:30.

WES:

12:5 Of such an one I will - I might, glory; but I will not glory of myself - As considered in myself.

MHC:

12:1-6 There can be no doubt the apostle speaks of himself. Whether heavenly things were brought down to him, while his body was in a trance, as in the case of ancient prophets; or whether his soul was dislodged from the body for a time, and taken up into heaven, or whether he was taken up, body and soul together, he knew not. We are not capable, nor is it fit we should yet know, the particulars of that glorious place and state. He did not attempt to publish to the world what he had heard there, but he set forth the doctrine of Christ. On that foundation the church is built, and on that we must build our faith and hope. And while this teaches us to enlarge our expectations of the glory that shall be revealed, it should render us contented with the usual methods of learning the truth and will of God.
