Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 3. - Mine answer; literally, my defence; the word "examine" is the word used for a legal inquiry. The Corinthians had as it were placed him on his defence at the bar of their criticism. Is this. That I was the cause of your conversion. In 2 Corinthians 12:12 he refers to other proofs of his apostolic power.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(3) Mine answer. . . .--The verse refers to what has gone before, and not to what follows. That (emphatic) is my answer to those who examine me as to the truth of my Apostleship. Both the words "answer" and "examine" are in the Greek the technical terms for a legal defence and examination before a tribunal.
