For concerning the ministering to the saints, it is unnecessary for me to write to you:
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 9:1 Go To 2 Corinthians 9
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Paul says this in order to win the Corinthians over to his side. Some were of such reputation that they thought they did not need advice. They would be ashamed to appear inferior to others. They would not want to fall short of others’ opinions about them.
