work, that is, in what spaces of time, that he might not be
hindered from preaching the Gospel, who can make out? Though,
truly, that he wrought at hours of both day and night himself hath
not left untold.25182518 Yet these men truly, who as though
very full of business and occupation inquire about the time of
working, what do they? Have they from Jerusalem round about even to
Illyricum filled the lands with the Gospel?25192519 or whatever of barbarian nations

the Church, have they undertaken? We know them into a certain holy
society, most leisurely gathered together. A marvellous thing did
the Apostle, that in very deed amid his so great care of all the
Churches, both planted and to be planted, to his care and labor
appertaining, he did also with his hands work: yet on that account,
when he was with the Corinthians, and wanted, was burdensome to no
man of those among whom he was, but altogether that which was
lacking to him the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied.25202520
