2 Corinthians 6:3

μηδεμίαν ἐν μηδενὶ κ. τ. λ.: giving no occasion of stumbling (see reff.; Alford aptly quotes Polybius, xxvii., 6, 10, διδόναι ἀφορμὰς προσκοπῆς) in anything, that our ministration be not blamed. The clause is parallel with 2 Corinthians 6:1, διδόντες corresponding to συνεργοῦντες, both being descriptive of the way in which παρακαλοῦμεν, etc.; cf., for like sentiments, 1 Corinthians 8:13; 1Co 9:12; 1 Corinthians 9:22; 1 Corinthians 10:33. We have μηδεμίαν … μηδενί rather than οὐδεμίαν … οὐδενί, as it is the thought or intention of the preacher which is the point to be brought out.
