But artisans like Paul earned a subsistence wage, and could not possibly have earned enough to pay for Paul's costly mission. This basic fact of economic life is almost always suppressed. Some well-known scholars, like Bruce Chilton, even assert that tent-makers like Paul got rich from their labors. Furthermore, while Paul told his church in
