2 Corinthians 11:7-9

Contemporary English Version

⁷ Was it wrong for me to lower myself and honor you by preaching God's message free of charge? ⁸ I robbed other churches by taking money from them to serve you. ^9 (A) Even when I was in need, I still didn't bother you. In fact, some of the Lord's followers from Macedonia brought me what I needed. I have not been a burden to you in the past, and I will never be a burden.
