1878 5 Remark the singular beauty and fitness, as to feelings, of the way in which the apostle passes from "I" to "we" in 2 Corinthians 2:14, and more variously in chapter 7, where he passes from one to another: so in chapter 8, and the chapters which follow, as chapter 9, save verse 11. See how he turns in chapter 10:2, and the mixture in verse 8. The apostle is one. Paul is "I;" and his heart made him so with the Corinthians. See much of the "I" (as it were foolishly). Chapter 11:21 brings in "we," but is generally "I;" chapter 12, "I," save verse 19. The same interchange in chapter 13 as in chapter 8. Chapter 3 is all "we," chapters 1 and 2 being naturally varied. Save Paul and his children, chapters 6:3; 3, 4, 5, 6, is all the ministerial "we." But the natural appropriateness is striking. See the change in 1 Corinthians 2:6 as characteristic. So chapter 1:23: so chapter 2:12-13. See the change in chapter 4:1-2, 3. See verse 9, changing in verse 14. In chapters 5, 6, 7 we turn to "I." In chapter 9 we return to the apostolic "we;" in verse 15 to Paul again, and to the end, save chapter 15:15: only he has mentioned the apostles.
