This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
17 Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account.
Ver. 17. Not because I desire a gift] As those cormorants that "with shame do love, Give ye," Hos_4:18, as if they could speak no other but the Doric dialect, the horse leech’s language. St Paul was none of these.
That may abound to your account] For God keeps an exact account of every penny laid out upon him and his, that he may require it; and his retributions are more than bountiful.
