2 Corinthians 11:7-11
New King James Version
7 Did I commit sin in [a]humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you (A)free of charge? 8 I robbed other churches, taking wages from them to minister to you. 9 And when I was present with you, and in need, (B)I was a burden to no one, for what I lacked (C)the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied. And in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will keep myself. 10 (D)As the truth of Christ is in me, (E)no one shall stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia. 11 Why? (F)Because I do not love you? God knows!

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.
