Matthew Poole and continuators on 2 Corinthians 11:10

10 As the truth of Christ is in me , no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia .

The Apostle often repeateth this, glorying much in it, that in this Region of Achaia, he had preached the Gospel without charge to the hearers; he did so also at Thessalonica, 1 Thes. 2.5, 6.9. But concerning them, he saith, what he no where saith of the Corinthians, that they received the word in much affliction; which might (probably) be the cause. It is most likely that he either discerned this people to be more covetous, and too much lovers of their money; or that there was a generation among them, who, if he had taken wages for his labours, would have reproached him as one that was an hireling, and who did all that he did for money. And indeed, himself seemeth in the next Verses to give this as a reason.
