This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

11. διὰ τί; ‘Why am I so firmly resolved never to accept maintenance from you?’ Is it because I care too little about you to wish to be under any obligation to you, or dislike you too much to accept anything of yours?’ This had very possibly been insinuated.

ὁ θεὸς οἶδεν. God knoweth whether he loves them or not, and what the true reason for his refusal is. He wishes to prove to them and to all, that he ministers to them for love and not for gain. Comp. Θεὸς δέ που οἶδεν, εἰ ἀληθὴς οὖσα τυγχάνει ἡ ἐλπὶς ἐμή (Plat. Rep. vii. p. 517 B), and Harum sententiarum quae vera sit, deus aliqui viderit (Cic. Tusc. Disp. I. xi. 25).
