2 Corinthians 12:13 Cross References - Anderson

¹³ For what is it in which you were inferior to other churches, unless in this that I did not burden you? Forgive me this wrong.

⁶ Or, have I only, and Barnabas, no right to leave off working?

¹² If others partake of this right over you, should not we rather? But we have not used this right: but we endure all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of the Christ.

¹⁵ But I have availed myself of none of these things; nor do I write these things that it should be so done to me. For it would be better for me to die, than that any one should make my boasting vain. ¹⁶ For though I preach the gospel, I have no cause for boasting; for a necessity is laid upon me; yes, alas for me, if I preach not the gospel. ¹⁷ For if I do this willingly, I have a reward; but if unwillingly, an apostolic stewardship has been intrusted to me. ¹⁸ What, then, is my reward? That, while I preach, I may make the gospel of Christ to be without charge, in order that I may not abuse my authority in the gospel.

⁷ Have I committed a sin, in making myself lowly, that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel to you without cost? ⁸ I robbed other churches, taking wages to do you service: and when I was present with you, and wanted, I was not a burden to any one; ⁹ for the brethren who came from Macedonia supplied my wants; and in every thing I have kept myself from being burdensome to you, and will continue to keep myself.

¹⁴ Behold, I am ready the third time to come to you, and I will not burden you: for I seek not yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up treasure for the parents, but the parents for the children.
