2 Cor. 11:9• 9And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself. (2 Cor. 11:9)
;
Phil. 4:14‑16• 14Notwithstanding ye have well done, that ye did communicate with my affliction.
 15Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only.
 16For even in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. (Phil. 4:14‑16)
• But the Apostle whilst laying down what is right could and did go beyond it in grace, not using it for himself but for Christ wherever His glory called for it. From the poor Macedonian brethren he received; from the wealthy Corinthians nothing. (“Notes on 2 Corinthians 11:1-15” by W. Kelly)
