What does Paul mean by 'walked we not in the same spirit'?
Paul means that he and Titus walked in the same spirit by sharing the same motive and conduct, not seeking personal financial gain from the Corinthians. Titus did not beg for money any more than Paul did. Both ministered consistently, without greed or exploitation, proving their unified purpose.
Les explains that Paul asks, “Did Titus make a gain of you? Walked we not in the same spirit?” The answer is that Titus did not beg for money any more than Paul did. So “walked we not in the same spirit” means Paul and Titus operated with the same non-exploitative motive, not using ministry for personal profit. Their conduct was consistent, and Paul desired Titus and the brother to be received on that same basis.
I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make a gain of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
