This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
No man’s silver or gold or apparel (arguriou ē chrusiou ē himatismou oudenos). Genitive case after epethumēsa. One of the slanders against Paul was that he was raising this collection, ostensibly for the poor, really for himself (2Co 12:17.). He includes “apparel” because oriental wealth consisted largely in fine apparel (not old worn out clothes). See Gen 24:53, 2Ki 5:5, Psa 45:13.; and Mat 6:19. Paul did not preach just for money.
