2 Corinthians 6:3 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Giving no offence in any thing, that the ministry be not blamed: Giving no offense - The word προσκοπη, read προσκομμα, Romans 14:13, signifies a stumbling block in general, or any thing over which a man stumbles or falls; and here means any transgression or scandal that might take place among the ministers, or the Christians themselves, whereby either Jews or Gentiles might take occasion of offense, and vilify the Gospel of Christ.
