And 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.
Cuando estuve con ustedes y me faltó dinero, no le pedí ayuda a ninguno de ustedes. Los hermanos que vinieron de Macedonia suplieron lo que me hacía falta. Me he cuidado de no ser una carga financiera para ustedes en nada, y así lo seguiré haciendo.
Pablo se esforzó por no ser una carga económica para los corintios, recibiendo ayuda de otros creyentes en lugar de pedírsela a ellos.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the first century AD, the Apostle Paul was traveling and establishing churches, including in Corinth, where he faced criticism from false teachers who questioned his motives. Paul often supported himself through his trade as a tentmaker to maintain his integrity and avoid being a financial burden on the new believers. In this letter, he's defending his ministry by emphasizing that when he was in need in Corinth, he relied on support from brothers in Macedonia rather than the local church.
