2 Corinthians 11:7-11
New Living Translation
7 Was I wrong when I humbled myself and honored you by preaching God’s Good News to you without expecting anything in return? 8 I “robbed” other churches by accepting their contributions so I could serve you at no cost. 9 And when I was with you and didn’t have enough to live on, I did not become a financial burden to anyone. For the brothers who came from Macedonia brought me all that I needed. I have never been a burden to you, and I never will be. 10 As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, no one in all of Greece[a] will ever stop me from boasting about this. 11 Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows that I do.

2 Corinthians 11:7-11
English Standard Version
7 Or (A)did I commit a sin in humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because (B)I 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 (C)in need, (D)I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia (E)supplied my need. So I refrained and will refrain (F)from burdening you in any way. 10 (G)As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine (H)will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia. 11 And why? (I)Because I do not love you? (J)God knows I do!

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)
