2 Corinthians 11:7-11
New International Version
7 Was 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) 8 I robbed other churches by receiving support from them(D) so as to serve you. 9 And 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. 10 As surely as the truth of Christ is in me,(G) nobody in the regions of Achaia(H) will stop this boasting(I) of mine. 11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows(J) I do!(K)
2 Corinthians 11:7-11
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
7 Did I commit a sin by humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I proclaimed God’s good news[a] to you free of charge?(A) 8 I robbed other churches by accepting support from them in order to serve you. 9 And when I was with you and was in need, I did not burden anyone, for my needs were supplied by the brothers who came from Macedonia. So I refrained and will continue to refrain from burdening you in any way.(B) 10 As the truth of Christ is in me, this boast of mine will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.(C) 11 And why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!(D)
