John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

2 Corinthians 12:17

I answer this lying accusation by appealing to plain fact. Did I make a gain of you by Titus — Or any other of my messengers? You know the contrary. It should be carefully observed, that St. Paul does not allow, but absolutely denies, that he had caught them with guile; so that the common plea for guile, which has been often drawn from this text, is utterly without foundation.
