Last Thursday, Eliz, Priscilla, and I attended the fourth session about Letters of St Paul by Father Vaz. Here is the notes:
Letter of St Paul to the Philippians
Paul has always been cautious about accepting monetary help. That's why he also worked as tent maker. He wants to avoid any unnecessary prejudice or hidden intentions of the giver. Even in the letter of Corinthians it is mentioned that Paul was not considered as an apostle because he did not accept the monetary help from Corinthians. So his name was damaged whether he accepted the money or not.
