2 Corinthians 11:7-9
New English Translation

7 Or did I commit a sin by humbling myself[a] so that you could be exalted, because I proclaimed[b] the gospel of God to you free of charge? 8 I robbed other churches by receiving support from them so that I could serve you![c] 9 When[d] I was with you and was in need, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia fully supplied my needs.[e] I[f] kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.
