2 Corinthians 11:7-9

NSB(i) 7 Or did I commit a sin in abasing myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you the good news of God without charge? 8 I robbed other congregations, taking pay from them that I might minister to you. 9 When I was present with you and was in want, I was not a burden on any man. For the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my want; and in everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and so I will continue to do the same.
