2 Corinthians 11:7-12
New International Version
7 Was it a sin(A) for me to lower myself in order to elevate you by preaching the gospel of God(B) to you free of charge?(C) 8 I robbed other churches by receiving support from them(D) 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.(E) I have kept myself from being a burden to you(F) in any way, and will continue to do so. 10 As surely as the truth of Christ is in me,(G) nobody in the regions of Achaia(H) will stop this boasting(I) of mine. 11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows(J) I do!(K)
12 And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about.
2 Corinthians 11:7-12
New King James Version
7 Did I commit sin in [a]humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you (A)free of charge? 8 I robbed other churches, taking wages from them to minister to you. 9 And when I was present with you, and in need, (B)I was a burden to no one, for what I lacked (C)the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied. And in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself. 10 (D)As the truth of Christ is in me, (E)no one shall stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia. 11 Why? (F)Because I do not love you? God knows!
12 But what I do, I will also continue to do, (G)that I may cut off the opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things of which they boast.
