Paul continues to speak.

## I coveted no man's silver ##

"I did not greatly desire someone's silver" or "I did not want for myself anyone's silver"

## man's silver, gold, or clothing ##

Clothing was considered a treasure; the more you had, the richer you were.

## You, yourself ##

The word "yourselves" is used here to add emphasis. (see: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rpronouns]])

## these hands served my own needs ##

"I worked with my own hands to earn money and pay for my own expenses." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

## help the weak by working ##

"Work so as to have money to help people who cannot earn it for themselves"

## It is more blessed to give than to receive ##

A person receives the favor of God and experiences his joy more when he gives.
