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)

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!
