But what I am doing, I will continue to do, so that I can cut off the opportunity from those who want an occasion [to receive financial support for themselves because of my example of receiving it]. They want to boast [that they are preaching] on the same terms as I do.

[Note: An alternate meaning is, “he was a great help, through God’s unearned favor upon him, to those who had become believers”].
