2 Corinthians 11:5-9

New American Standard Bible

⁵ For I consider myself ^(A)not in the least inferior to the ^[a]most eminent apostles. ⁶ But even if I am ^(B)unskilled in speech, yet I am not so in ^(C)knowledge; in fact, in every way we have ^(D)made this evident to you in all things.

⁷ Or ^(E)did I commit a sin by humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached the ^(F)gospel of God to you ^(G)without charge? ⁸ I robbed other churches by ^(H)taking wages from them to serve you; ⁹ and when I was present with you and was in need, I was ^(I)not a burden to anyone; for when ^(J)the brothers came from ^(K)Macedonia they fully supplied my need, and in everything I kept myself from ^(L)being a burden to you, ^[b]and will continue to do so.
