2 Corinthians 12:16

Being crafty. In vs. 16–19 Paul emphatically denies having made any gain from them, either openly or in a crafty, underhanded way. He apparently supposes his enemies to say, “Grant that Paul did not take money from you directly. But did he not do it indirectly when he sent Titus to gather funds for the great collection [chs. 8; 9]? How do you know that he is not secretly rewarding himself and his companions out of this fund?”

Caught you. As a hunter takes his game. Commentators generally hold that Paul here quotes what his enemies were saying.

Guile. Or, “craft,” “deceit,” literally, “bait” (cf. chs. 4:2; 11:3).
