2 Corinthians 11:7-9

Modern English Version

⁷ Did I commit a sin in abasing myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you the gospel of God free of charge? ⁸ I robbed other churches by accepting wages from them to serve you. ⁹ Furthermore, when I was present with you and was lacking, I was a burden to no one. For the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I lacked. In all things I have kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so will I keep myself.
