2 Corinthians 11:8-10
J.B. Phillips New Testament
7-10 Perhaps I made a mistake in cheapening myself (though I did it to help you) by preaching the Gospel without a fee? As a matter of fact I was only able to do this by “robbing” other churches, for it was what they paid me that made it possible to minister to you free of charge. Even when I was with you and very hard up, I did not bother any of you. It was the brothers who came from Macedonia who brought me all that I needed. Yes, I kept myself from being a burden to you then, and so I intend to do in the future. By the truth of Christ within me, no one shall stop my being proud of this independence through all Achaia!

2 Corinthians 11:8-10
New International Version
8 I robbed other churches by receiving support from them(A) so as to serve you. 9 And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed.(B) I have kept myself from being a burden to you(C) in any way, and will continue to do so. 10 As surely as the truth of Christ is in me,(D) nobody in the regions of Achaia(E) will stop this boasting(F) of mine.
