2 Corinthians 11:7-11

21st Century King James Version

⁷ Have I committed an offense in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the Gospel of God without charge?

⁸ I robbed other churches, taking wages from them to do you service.

⁹ And when I was present with you and was in want, I was burdensome to no man, for that which I lacked the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied; and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so will I keep myself.

¹⁰ As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

¹¹ Why so? Because I love you not? God knoweth!
