7 Or (A)did I commit a sin in humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I proclaimed the (B)gospel of God to you (C)without charge? 8 I robbed other churches by (D)taking wages from them to minister to 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 and will keep myself from (H)being a burden to you. 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 I do!

7 Or did I commit a sin by[a] humbling myself in order that you may be exalted, because I proclaimed the gospel of God to you without payment? 8 I robbed other churches by[b] accepting support from them for the ministry to you. 9 And when I[c] was present with you and was in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my need, and in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and will keep myself from being a burden. 10 As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine[d] will not be stopped in the regions of Achaia. 11 Why[e]? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
