EXPLANATION

Verse 13. For whether we be transported in mind, and out of zeal for the good of others seem to exceed in speaking of ourselves, it is to God, for God’s honour and that of his ministers: or whether we be more moderate, [3] (lit. sober) that is, if I speak not, even what with truth I might, of my own actions, it is to you, to give you an example of modesty and humility.
