People's Commentary (NT)
1 Thessalonians 2:6
Nor from men sought we glory. Enemies of the cross sought some
motive to explain the devotion of the apostles to the work. When all
others failed, they named the desire of glory, as though men would make
themselves "offscouring" for the sake of glory (1 Corinthians 4:13).
When we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
They might have demanded glory, and stood on the dignity of the
apostles' office, and required pecuniary support. Instead, they worked
at Thessalonica with their own hands for a support. See 1 Thessalonians 2:9.
