فَلْيَكُنْ. أَنَا لَمْ أُثَقِّلْ عَلَيْكُمْ، لكِنْ إِذْ كُنْتُ مُحْتَالاً أَخَذْتُكُمْ بِمَكْرٍ!

I did not burden you--The "I" in the Greek is emphatic. A possible insinuation of the Corinthians is hereby anticipated and refuted: "But, you may say, granted that I did not burden you myself; nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you (in my net) with guile"; namely, made a gain of you by means of others (Th1 2:3).
افتح المصدر ↗In this chapter the apostle proceeds in maintaining the honour of his apostleship. He magnified his office when there were those who vilified it. What he says in his own praise was only in his own justification and the necessary defence of the honour of his ministry, the preservation of which was necessary to its success. First, He makes mention of the favour God had shown him, the honour done him, the methods God took to keep him humble, and the use he made of this dispensation (Co2 12:1-10). Then he addresses himself to the Corinthians, blaming them for what was faulty among them, and giving a large account of his behaviour and kind intentions towards them (Co2 12:11 to the end).
افتح المصدر ↗12:16-18 Some of the Corinthians still believed that Paul had deceived them by trickery. They might have insinuated that Paul was helping himself to the proceeds of the collection for the Jerusalem church (chs 8–9). The answer to this charge is a reminder of the integrity of Titus and the other brother (see 8:18-24). The integrity of Paul and his associates should debunk such false charges.

فَإِنَّنَا لَمْ نَكُنْ قَطُّ فِي كَلاَمِ تَمَلُّق كَمَا تَعْلَمُونَ، وَلاَ فِي عِلَّةِ طَمَعٍ. اَللهُ شَاهِدٌ.
لأَنَّ وَعْظَنَا لَيْسَ عَنْ ضَلاَل، وَلاَ عَنْ دَنَسٍ، وَلاَ بِمَكْرٍ،
اِقْبَلُونَا. لَمْ نَظْلِمْ أَحَدًا. لَمْ نُفْسِدْ أَحَدًا. لَمْ نَطْمَعْ فِي أَحَدٍ.
لأَنَّ فَخْرَنَا هُوَ هذَا: شَهَادَةُ ضَمِيرِنَا أَنَّنَا فِي بَسَاطَةٍ وَإِخْلاَصِ اللهِ، لاَ فِي حِكْمَةٍ جَسَدِيَّةٍ بَلْ فِي نِعْمَةِ اللهِ، تَصَرَّفْنَا فِي الْعَالَمِ، وَلاَ سِيَّمَا مِنْ نَحْوِكُمْ.
لأَنَّهُ مَا هُوَ الَّذِي نَقَصْتُمْ عَنْ سَائِرِ الْكَنَائِسِ، إِلاَّ أَنِّي أَنَا لَمْ أُثَقِّلْ عَلَيْكُمْ؟ سَامِحُونِي بِهذَا الظُّلْمِ!
بَلْ قَدْ رَفَضْنَا خَفَايَا الْخِزْيِ، غَيْرَ سَالِكِينَ فِي مَكْرٍ، وَلاَ غَاشِّينَ كَلِمَةَ اللهِ، بَلْ بِإِظْهَارِ الْحَقِّ، مَادِحِينَ أَنْفُسَنَا لَدَى ضَمِيرِ كُلِّ إِنْسَانٍ قُدَّامَ اللهِ.
إِنْ كُنْتُمْ قَدْ ذُقْتُمْ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ صَالِحٌ.
