This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

2Co 11:8. Ἐσύλησα, I robbed) He imputes to himself the receiving of payment, to which he was most justly entitled, as robbery, and afterwards as sloth and a burden, comp. notes on 1Co 9:17. This word and wages are figurative expressions derived from military affairs.-λαβὼν, taking wages) for my journey, when I came to you. The antithesis is present, when I was with you [2Co 11:9].
