2 Corinthians 10:7

τὰ κατὰ προσ. κ. τ. λ.: ye look at the things which are before your face; i.e., you pay too much attention to outward appearances (cf. Romans 2:11; Galatians 2:6; Ephesians 6:9), you lay too much stress on personal intimacy with Christ in the flesh (2 Corinthians 10:7), and on a man's bodily presence and powers of speech (2 Corinthians 10:10), even on his own self-commendation (2 Corinthians 10:12). The rec. text places a note of interrogation after βλέπετε, but it seems preferable to treat the sentence as a simple categorical statement (see esp. on 2 Corinthians 10:12, and cf. John 7:24). εἴ τις πέποιθεν κ. τ. λ.: if any man (this is his usual vague way of referring to opponents; cf. 2 Corinthians 11:4; 2 Corinthians 11:20) trusteth in himself that he is Christ's, prides himself on specially belonging to what he regards as the “party” of Christ, which had unhappily grown up at Corinth (1 Corinthians 1:12), let him consider this again (he has often heard it before, but has forgotten it) with himself (or, reading ἀφʼ ἑαυτοῦ, “let him think this out for himself” it does not need any prompting from without), that even as he is Christ's, so also are we (1 Corinthians 3:23).
