Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
Nor of men sought we glory - As we preached not for worldly gain, so we preached not for popular applause; we had what we sought for-the approbation of God, and the testimony of a good conscience.
When we might have been burdensome - They had a right to their maintenance while they devoted themselves wholly to the work of the Gospel for the sake of the people' s souls. Others understand the words , to be honorable; we sought no glory of you nor of others, though we were honorable as the apostles of Christ. cabod , in Hebrew, to which the Greek answers, signifies not only weight but glory; and in both these senses the apostle uses it, II Corinthians 4:17.
