Matthew Henry on 2 Corinthians 3:1

The apostle makes an apology for his seeming to commend himself, and is careful not to assume too much to himself, but to ascribe all praise unto God, ver. 1-5 . He then draws a comparison between the Old Testament and the New, and shows the excellency of the later above the former ( ver. 6-11 ), whence he infers what is the duty of gospel ministers, and the advantage of those who live under the gospel above those who lived under the law, ver. 12, to the end .
