Context of 2 Corinthians 11:29
27in labour and toil, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness. 28Besides those things that are without, the crowd [of cares] pressing on me daily, the burden of all the assemblies. Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is stumbled, and I burn not? 30If it is needful to boast, I will boast in the things which concern my infirmity. 31The God and Father of the Lord Jesus knows — he who is blessed for ever — that I do not lie.

Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 11:29

Who is offended - Or likely to be turned out of the way, and I burn not with zeal to restore and confirm him? This seems to be the sense of these different questions.Read the comment
