The Apostle Paul was aware of the economic needs of the Jewish nation. He also was aware of the political tyranny of Rome over the people, yet it is clear that his major concern for the people was spiritual.
Alam ni Apostol Pablo ang pangangailangan sa pananalapi ng mga Judio. Alam din niya ang politikal na panlulupig ng Roma sa mga tao, subalit malinaw na ang kanyang malaking malasakit ay ang kanilang espirituwal na kalagayan.
