2 Corinthians 2:17 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

For we are not as many, who adulterate the word of God — Like those vintners (so the Greek word implies) who mix their wines with baser liquors. But as of sincerity — Without any mixture. But as from God — This rises higher still; transmitting his pure word, not our own. In the sight of God — Whom we regard as always present, and noting every word of our tongue. Speak we — The tongue is ours, but the power is God's. In Christ — Words which he gives, approves, and blesses.
