This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Third time I am ready to come (triton touto hetoimōs echō). Had he been already twice or only once? He had changed his plans once when he did not go (2Co 1:15.). He will not change his plans now. This looks as if he had only been once (that in Acts 18). Note the third use of katanarkaō (2Co 11:9; 2Co 12:13, 2Co 12:14). They need not be apprehensive. He will be as financially independent of them as before. “I shall not sponge on you.”
Not yours, but you (ou ta humōn, alla humas). The motto of every real preacher.
To lay up (thēsaurizein). For this use of the verb see note on 1Co 16:2 (Mat 6:19-21; Jam 5:3).
