Thematic Bible: Self-support as practised by paul


Thematic Bible



And as he was of the same occupation, he abode with them, and worked, (for by trade they were tent-makers:)


but ye yourselves know that these hands have by labour furnished necessaries for my own wants, and for those who were with me.

neither did we eat bread with any man unpaid for, but with labour and toil worked night and day, that we might be burdensome to none of you:

But Paul abode two whole years in his own hired apartment, and received all who came to him,

But I have used nothing of these things, nor have I written indeed these things, that it should be so done respecting me; for it would become me to die rather than that any man should make my glorying void.
