2 Corinthians 11:7-9 Did I commit an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I preached to you the gospel of God without charge?

Noyes⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Did I commit an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I preached to you the gospel of God without charge? ⁸ I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, in order to do you service; ⁹ and when I was present with you, and in want, I was a charge to no one; (for the brethren, when they came from Macedonia, supplied my wants;) and in every thing I kept myself and will keep myself from being burdensome to you.
