S – For we do not market the word^r of God for profit like so many. On the contrary, we speak with sincerity in Christ, as from God and before God. 

 2 Corinthians 2:17 CSB

O – Commentary:  

In Paul’s day there was apparently no lack of false apostles (cf. 2 Peter 2:1). According to Paul, the ministry of the many false apostles was a matter of self-interest. Unlike them, he had ministered in Corinth without charge (cf. 2 Cor. 11:7–12; 12:14), though in principle he had no problem accepting material remuneration for spiritual labor (1 Cor. 9). What characterized the false apostles were their messages and their motives. Like dishonest merchants they selfishly hawked their wares. Paul said they peddle God’s Word. This word kapēleuontes, “to hawk, peddle,” is used only here…So too these false apostles adulterated the Word of God for profit. They served themselves, not God whom Paul represented. They were “greedy for money” (1 Peter 5:2), an evidence of their falsehood. But Paul ministered with sincerity (cf. 2 Cor. 1:12).

“2 Corinthians,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures

A  – In doing anything for the Lord, we need to check our hearts.  Is it genuine or does it have other motives attached to it?

R – Lord, thank you for our relationship with you.  Please check my heart and actions today.  Test them.  Show me if there is anything done in your name that is not true and genuine.  We want to reflect you in a way that show an authentic love for you.
