- 10:18 Approved: to be approved is to come successfully through the process of testing for authenticity (cf. 2 Cor 13:3–7 and the note on 2 Cor 8:2).

Paul alludes to this judgment throughout 2 Cor 10–13, frequently in final or transitional positions; cf. 2 Cor 11:15; 12:19a; 13:3–7.
2 Corinthians 10:18
New International Version
18 For it is not the one who commends himself(A) who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.(B)
