2 Corinthians 11:7-9

Darby Translation

⁷ Have I committed sin, abasing myself in order that *ye* might be exalted, because I gratuitously announced to you the glad tidings of God?

⁸ I spoiled other assemblies, receiving hire for ministry towards you.

⁹ And being present with you and lacking, I did not lazily burden any one, (for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied what I lacked,) and in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and will keep myself.
