{Corrupting} (kap(886c)euontes). Old word from kap(886c)os, a
huckster or peddlar, common in all stages of Greek for
huckstering or trading. It is curious how hucksters were
suspected of corrupting by putting the best fruit on top of the
basket. Note Paul's solemn view of his relation to God as a
preacher ({from God} ek theou, {in the sight of God} katenanti
theou, {in Christ} en Christ(9369)).
