At Corinth we know that he received offerings from Macedonia: "That which was lacking to me the brethren who came (when they came) from Macedonia supplied" (2Corinthians 11:9).

No Church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. Chrysostom understands this of giving worldly things and receiving spiritual things (comp. 1 Corinthians 9:11). But the context seems to restrict the meaning to temporal gifts: the Philippians gave, St. Paul received.
