2 Corinthians 11:7-9 Do you think that I did wrong in degrading myself to uplift you, because I preached God's good news to you without any compensation?

Goodspeed⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ Do you think that I did wrong in degrading myself to uplift you, because I preached God's good news to you without any compensation? ⁸ I robbed other churches, letting them pay me so that I could work for you! ⁹ And when I was with you and wanted money, I did not burden any of you, for when the brothers came from Macedonia they supplied what I needed. So I kept myself, as I shall always do, from being a burden to you in any way.
