But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I took you with guile.
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 12:16 Go To 2 Corinthians 12
Ambrosiaster
AD 400
Paul makes explicit all the charges which an opponent might make against him in order to clear himself on all counts. For he did not deal deviously with the Corinthians but straightforwardly. On the one hand he wanted to make provision for them in the sight of God and on the other he did not want their wealth in this life. He might have been suspected of despising them because the sums which they offered him were too small, but this was not the case. Commentary on Paul’s Epistles.
