Note 14 at 2 Cor. 11:9: When Paul was with the Corinthians and was in "want" (Gk.-"hustereo"- i.e. he lacked or needed something) he was chargeable to no man. The Greek word for "chargeable" in this verse is "katanarkao" and is used only here and in 2 Corinthians 12:13-14 and carries the idea of a heavy load that is burdensome. His financial responsibilities were met by his own hands and also by the Macedonian churches. By not being chargeable to the Corinthians Paul hoped to teach by example the truth of personal responsibility (2 Th. 3:7-10) and his deep love for the Corinthians (2 Cor. 6:11).

Note 15 at 2 Cor. 11:9: This is a very clear reference to the fact that Paul did receive offerings. He just didn't receive offerings from the Corinthians (see note 3 at 1 Cor. 9:4 and note 5 at 1 Cor. 9:6, p. 903) and the Thessalonians (1 Th. 2:9). Later in this same letter (2 Cor. 12:13), Paul asks the Corinthians to forgive him for not letting them help him financially. He even said he was wrong for doing so. This was probably in sarcasm, but nonetheless shows that giving to those who minister to you has great benefit for the giver.

Note 16 at 2 Cor. 11:9: Although Paul was entitled to receive support from the Corinthians, he had not done so, and here he is saying that he will not do so.
