Wesley's Notes for 2 Corinthians 5:13

5:13 For if we are transported beyond ourselves - Or at least, appear so to others, treated of, #2Cor 5:15 |- 21, speaking or writing with uncommon vehemence. It is to God - He understands (if men do not) the emotion which himself inspires. If we be sober - Treated of, #2Cor 6:1 |- 10. If I proceed in a more calm, sedate manner. It is for your sakes - Even good men bear this, rather than the other method, in their teachers. But these must obey God, whoever is offended by it.
