2 Corinthians 11:7-9
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Or Did I Sin By Not Letting You Pay Me?
7 Or[a] did I commit a sin [by] humbling myself in order that you might be exalted— because I freely[b] announced-as-good-news to you the good-news of God? 8 I robbed[c] other churches, having taken rations[d] from them for your ministry! 9 And while being present with you and having been in-need, I did not burden anyone— for the brothers having come from Macedonia supplied my need. And in every way I kept and will keep myself unburdensome to you.
