2 Corinthians 11:7-11

New International Version

⁷Was 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) ⁸I robbed other churches by receiving support from them^(D) so as to serve you. ⁹And 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. ¹⁰As surely as the truth of Christ is in me,^(G) nobody in the regions of Achaia^(H) will stop this boasting^(I) of mine. ¹¹Why? Because I do not love you? God knows^(J) I do!^(K)

New American Standard Bible

⁷Or ^(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? ⁸I robbed other churches by ^(D)taking wages from them to serve you; ⁹and 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. ¹¹Why? ^(L)Because I do not love you? ^(M)God knows that I do!
