2 Corinthians 11:7

Have I committed an offence— The adverse party made it an argument against St. Paul that he was no apostle, since he took nothing among the Corinthians for his maintenance, 1 Corinthians 9:1. Another objection raised against him on this account was, that he loved them not, 2 Corinthians 11:11. This he answers here by giving another reason for so doing. A third allegation was, that it was only a crafty trick in him to catch them, ch. 2 Corinthians 12:16 which he answers there.
