2 Coríntios 12:17 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 12:17

Did I make a gain of you
He appeals to the Corinthians against such calumnies and false insinuations, whether ever he had circumvented them in such a manner, or had ever used such artful methods to pillage them; or whether ever he had discovered any covetous disposition towards anything of theirs; or had employed any persons to draw out their substance from them, and get it for himself: he owns he had sent some persons to them on different errands, and asks if he had dealt fraudulently with them,

by any of them whom,
says he,

I have sent to you:
he desires them to name one single person of the many who came to them from him, that had received any money from them for him; or that they had any reason to believe he had employed for such purposes; and if they could not pitch on a single instance, they ought therefore to look upon this as a downright slander and calumny.

2 Coríntios 12:17 In-Context

15 Assim, de boa vontade, por amor de vocĂȘs, gastarei tudo o que tenho e tambĂ©m me desgastarei pessoalmente. Visto que os amo tanto, devo ser menos amado?
16 Seja como for, nĂŁo tenho sido um peso para vocĂȘs. No entanto, como sou astuto, eu os prendi com astĂșcia.
17 Porventura eu os explorei por meio de alguĂ©m que enviei a vocĂȘs?
18 Recomendei a Tito que os visitasse, acompanhado de outro irmĂŁo. Por acaso Tito os explorou? NĂŁo agimos nĂłs no mesmo espĂ­rito e nĂŁo seguimos os mesmos passos?
19 VocĂȘs pensam que durante todo este tempo estamos nos defendendo perante vocĂȘs? Falamos diante de Deus como alguĂ©m que estĂĄ em Cristo, e tudo o que fazemos, amados irmĂŁos, Ă© para fortalecĂȘ-los.
