2 Corinthians 11:7-12
Read 2 Corinthians 11 in full →7Or adid I commit a sin in humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I proclaimed the bgospel of God to you cwithout charge? 8I robbed other churches by ataking wages from them to minister to you. 9And when I was present with you and was in need, I was anot a burden to anyone; for when bthe brothers came from cMacedonia they fully supplied my need, and in everything I kept and will keep myself from dbeing a burden to you. 10aAs the truth of Christ is in me, bthis boasting of mine will not be stopped in the regions of cAchaia. 11Why? aBecause I do not love you? bGod knows I do!
12But what I am doing I will continue to do, aso that I may cut off opportunity from those who desire an opportunity to be found just as we are in the matter about which they are boasting.
