Jamieson, Fausset & Brown, on 2Cor 11:8

2Cor 11:8 · Douay-Rheims
“I have taken from other churches, receiving wages of them for your ministry.”
On this verse:
“I robbed--that is, took from them in order to spare you more than what was their fair share of contribution to my maintenance, for example, the Philippian Church (Phi 4:15-16). wages--"subsidy." to do you service--Greek, "with a view to ministration to you"; compare "supplied" (Greek, "in addition"), Co2 11:9, implying, he brought with him from the Macedonians, supplies towards his maintenance at Corinth; and (Co2 11:9) when those resources failed ("when I wanted") he received a new supply, while there, from the same source.”
