Paul was the missionary who spread the Word to the Corinthians, but the church began to think of Paul as someone with less authority than Peter and other disciples. The church was not financially taking care of Paul and Barnabas. Paul argued that it would be desirable that the church took care of him because he worked for them; however, he continued, he is working for Jesus, so he wouldn't charge for his service.
What is the purpose of Paul with this discussion? He shows that he cares for the church and not for his money; besides, it is very important that the church understands Paul's authority to value the gospel.
Who is important to the Corinthian church? Paul wanted that they understood his love for them and mainly his love for Jesus so that they would listen to him.
