2 Corinthians 11:7-12

7 Or ^adid I commit a sin in humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because ^bI preached God’s gospel to you free of charge? 8 I robbed other churches by accepting support from them in order to serve you. 9 And when I was with you and was ^cin need, ^dI did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia ^esupplied my need. So I refrained and will refrain ^ffrom burdening you in any way. 10 ^gAs the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine ^hwill not be silenced in the regions of Achaia. 11 And why? ⁱBecause I do not love you? ^jGod knows I do!

12 And what I am doing I will continue to do, ^kin order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do.
