2 Corinthians 11:7-9
New Catholic Bible

Paul’s Apostolate. 7 Did I make a mistake by preaching the gospel of God without charge, humbling myself[a] so that you might be exalted? 8 I robbed other Churches, accepting support from them in order to serve you. 9 And when I was with you and in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied my needs.

I refrained, and will continue to refrain, from burdening you in any way. Read full chapter

Footnotes

  1. 2 Corinthians 11:7 Humbling myself: apparently Paul’s opponents took issue with the fact that he failed to accept payment for his services. This went counter to the practice of first-century traveling philosophers and religious teachers, who exacted payment in proportion to the worth of their performance.
