[ myself]. |
2 Corinthians 11:9
_ _ wanted — “was in want.”
_ _ chargeable — Greek, “burdensome,” literally, “to torpify,” and so to oppress. Jerome says it is a Cilician word (2 Corinthians 12:14, 2 Corinthians 12:16).
_ _ the brethren which came — rather, as Greek, “the brethren when they came.” Perhaps Timotheus and Silas (Acts 8:1, Acts 8:5). Compare Philippians 4:15, Philippians 4:16, which refers to donations received from the Philippians (who were in Macedonia) at two distinct periods (“once and again”), one at Thessalonica, the other after his departure from Macedonia, that is, when he came into Achaia to Corinth (from the church in which city he would receive no help); and this “in the beginning of the Gospel,” that is, at its first preaching in these parts. Thus all three, the two Epistles and history, mutually, and no doubt undesignedly, coincide; a sure test of genuineness.
_ _ supplied — Greek, “supplied in addition,” namely, in addition to their former contributions; or as Bengel, in addition to the supply obtained by my own manual labor. |
2 Corinthians 11:9
For — I choose to receive help from the poor Macedonians, rather than the rich Corinthians! Were the poor in all ages more generous than the rich? |

And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all [things] I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, (5) and [so] will I keep [myself].
(5) An amplification: so far is he from being ashamed of this act, that he has also resolved with himself to act in no other way while he is among them, in order that it may always be truly said that he taught in Achaia for nothing. And this is not because he disdains the Corinthians, but rather so that these proud and boastful men may never find the occasion which they have already sought for, and he in the meantime may set something before the Corinthians to follow, so that at length they may truly say that they are like Paul. |
- wanted:
2 Corinthians 6:4 But in all [things] approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,

But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.
