¹¹ Now I have become foolish; you have forced me [by questioning my apostleship]. Actually I should have been commended by you [instead of being treated disdainfully], for I was not inferior to those ^[a]super-apostles, even if I am nobody. ¹² The signs that indicate a genuine apostle were performed among you fully and most patiently—signs and wonders and miracles. ¹³ For in what respect were you treated as inferior to the rest of the churches, except [for the fact] that I did not burden you [with my financial support]? Forgive me [for doing you] this injustice!
