⁷ Or ^(A)did I commit a sin by humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached the ^(B)gospel of God to you ^(C)without charge? ⁸ I robbed other churches by ^(D)taking wages from them to serve you; ⁹ and when I was present with you and was in need, I was ^(E)not a burden to anyone; for when ^(F)the brothers came from ^(G)Macedonia they fully supplied my need, and in everything I kept myself from ^(H)being a burden to you, ^[a]and will continue to do so. ^10 (I)As the truth of Christ is in me, ^(J)this boasting of mine will not be stopped in the regions of ^(K)Achaia. ¹¹ Why? ^(L)Because I do not love you? ^(M)God knows that I do!
