Commentary on 2 Corinthians 12:13

Theological / Devotional

Were inferior. The Corinthians had enjoyed all the advantages and benefits that a true apostle of Christ could bring them—teaching, preaching, miracles, letters, and help in organization—all without charge. In all these things his critics were wanting. They excelled Paul only in having taken the money of the Corinthians, and having boasted of their own prowess. He who had the most right to boast and to receive material compensation refused either to boast or to claim financial compensation.
