Commentary on 2 Corinthians 12:17

Theological / Devotional

Make a gain. Paul challenges his opponents to produce evidence that he has taken advantage of the Corinthians, either directly or through his co-workers. Several of the latter had labored with him at Corinth or, when he was laboring elsewhere, had been sent there as bearers of epistles or as his personal representatives (Acts 18:1–5; 1 Cor. 16:15–18; 2 Cor. 1:19; 2 Cor. 7:6 ; 12:18).
