| II Corinthians 2:17
| For we are not as many adulterating the word of God, but with sincerity, but as from God, in the sight of God, we speak in Christ.
| We are not as many false doctors and preachers, who adulterate{ Ver. 17. Adulterantes, kapeleuontes, cauponantes; upon which St. Chrysostom, p. 576, otan tis notheue ton oinon.|} the word of God, by mixing human doctrine, to be more esteemed, or for gain-sake. The expression is metaphorical, from the custom of those who mix and adulterate wines, says St. Chrysostom, for their greater gain and advantage. (Witham)
