He had the right to claim full support from the churches (1 Corinthians 9:7-15; 1 Timothy 5:17-18; Galatians 6:6), but at the same time he was prepared, if necessary, to support himself in order to spread the Gospel. He did this on several occasions.
Mayroon siyang karapatan na kumuha ng sapat na suporta mula sa iglesya (I Corinto 9:7-15; I Timoteo 5:17-18; Galacia 6:6), ngunit siya ay handa, kung kinakailangan, para suportahan ang kanyang sarili para maipalaganap ang Ebanghelyo. Ginawa niya ito sa ilang mga pagkakataon.
