Mace(i)
9 when I was present among you, and in want, I was chargeable to no man: for the brethren which came from Macedonia, supplied my necessities: and as I have, so I always shall keep myself from being burdensome to you.
10 I solemnly protest, no man shall hinder me of this applause, in the regions of Achaia.
11 why so? is it because I love you not? far otherwise, God knows.
12 but this I do, and shall do, to make them drop their hire, who are so bent upon hire: and then indeed they will be as they pretend to be, like me.
