How were you inferior to the other churches, except that I was not a financial burden to you? Forgive me this wrong! — Paul's *irony*: his *refusal* to accept support is presented as a *potential slight*, a *hamartía*, wrong. Yet *precisely this* demonstrates his *love*. The Corinthians should have *recognized* his *self-denial* as *apostolic credential*.
