{Yea} (hout(9373) de). "And so," introducing a limitation to
the preceding statement. {Making it my aim} (philotimoumenon).
Present middle participle (accusative case agreeing with me) of
philotimeomai, old verb, to be fond of honour (philos, tim(885c)).
In N.T. only here and  1Th 4:11  2Co 5:9 . A noble word in
itself, quite different in aim from the Latin word for {ambition}
(ambio, to go on both sides to carry one's point). {Not where}
(ouch hopou). Paul was a pioneer preacher pushing on to new
fields after the manner of Daniel Boone in Kentucky. {That I
might now build upon another man's foundation} (hina m(8820)ep'
allotrion themelion oikodom(935c)). For allotrios (not allos) see
 14:4 . For 	hemelion, see  Lu 6:48f.  1Co 3:11 . This noble
ambition of Paul's is not within the range of some ministers who
can only build on another's foundation as Apollos did in Corinth.
But the pioneer preacher and missionary has a dignity and glory
all his own.
