Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
No man's silver or gold or apparel (arguriou h xrusiou h imatismou oudenov). Genitive case after epequmhsa. One of the slanders against Paul was that he was raising this collection, ostensibly for the poor, really for himself (II Corinthians 12:17 f.). He includes "apparel" because oriental wealth consisted largely in fine apparel (not old worn out clothes). See Genesis 24:53; II Kings 5:5; Psalms 45:13 f.; Matthew 6:19. Paul did not preach just for money.
