‏ 2 Corinthians 11:13-14

13. For—reason why he is unwilling they should be thought like him [BENGEL].

such—they and those like them.

false apostles—those "overmuch apostles" (see on 2Co 11:5) are no apostles at all.

deceitful workers—pretending to be "workmen" for the Lord, and really seeking their own gain.

14. is transformed—rather, "transforms himself" (compare Job 1:6); habitually; the first occasion of his doing so was in tempting Eve. "Himself" is emphatical: If their master himself, who is the "prince of darkness," the most alien to light, does so, it is less marvellous in the case of them who are his servants (Lu 22:54; Eph 6:12).
