2 Corinthians 11:7-11
New American Standard Bible
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!

2 Corinthians 11:7-11
American Standard Version
7 Or did I commit a sin in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I [a]preached to you the gospel of God for nought? 8 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them that I might minister unto you; 9 and when I was present with you and was in want, I was not a burden on any man; for the brethren, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my want; and in everything I kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself. 10 As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this glorying in the regions of Achaia. 11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
