SEV Biblia, Chapter 12:17
¿Por ventura os he engaado por alguno de los que he enviado a vosotros?
Clarke's Bible Commentary - 2 Corinthians 12:17
Verse 17. Did I make a gain of you] Did any person I ever sent to preach the Gospel to you, or help you in your Christian course, ever get any thing from you for me? Produce the proof if you can.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 17. Did I make a gain of you , etc..] He appeals to the Corinthians against such calumnies and false insinuations, whether ever he had circumvented them in such a manner, or had ever used such artful methods to pillage them; or whether ever he had discovered any covetous disposition towards anything of theirs; or had employed any persons to draw out their substance from them, and get it for himself: he owns he had sent some persons to them on different errands, and asks if he had dealt fraudulently with them, by any of them whom , says he, I have sent to you : he desires them to name one single person of the many who came to them from him, that had received any money from them for him; or that they had any reason to believe he had employed for such purposes; and if they could not pitch on a single instance, they ought therefore to look upon this as a downright slander and calumny.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 11-21 - We owe it to good men, to stand up in the defence of their reputation and we are under special obligations to those from whom we have received benefit, especially spiritual benefit, to own them a instruments in God's hand of good to us. Here is an account of the apostle's behaviour and kind intentions; in which see the character of a faithful minister of the gospel. This was his great aim and design to do good. Here are noticed several sins commonly found amon professors of religion. Falls and misdeeds are humbling to a minister and God sometimes takes this way to humble those who might be tempte to be lifted up. These vast verses show to what excesses the fals teachers had drawn aside their deluded followers. How grievous it is that such evils should be found among professors of the gospel! Ye thus it is, and has been too often, and it was so even in the days of the apostles __________________________________________________________________

Robertson's NT Word Studies
12:17 {Did I take advantage} (epleonektesa). Paul goes right to the point without hedging. For this verb from pleon and ecw, to have more, see on 2Co 2:11; 7:2. {By any one of them} (tina--di' autou). An anacoluthon for tina is left in the accusative without a verb and Di' autou takes up the idea, "as to any one by him." {Whom} (hwn). The genitive relative is attracted from the accusative hous into the case of the unexpressed antecedent touton). me expects the negative answer as does meti in #18.
