John Calvin Reformed @genevareformer

Paul shows true modesty here: he does not claim the work as his own but credits God, calling himself merely the instrument through whom God worked. Whatever excellence appears in the conversion of the Gentiles comes not from Paul's power but from God's, especially in building the Church.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian @wholebiblehenry

They travelled light, carrying their own bags like poor soldiers, perhaps bearing the collection for Jerusalem's poor. When Paul resolved to go despite their warnings, they would not abandon him; like Thomas toward Christ and Ittai toward David, they cleaved to him in danger.

John Gill Reformed Baptist @doctorgill

Paul recounted the full sweep of God's work among the Gentiles across all his travels, the multitudes converted, the churches planted at Philippi, Corinth, Ephesus, and elsewhere. He ascribed nothing to himself; God was the efficient cause, and to God alone belonged the glory.
