5. For I suppose that I have done nothing less than the great apostles.
6. For although I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge; but in all things we have been made manifest to you.
7. Or did I commit a fault, humbling myself, that you might be exalted? Because I preached unto you the gospel of God freely?
8. I have taken from other churches, receiving wages of them for your ministry.
9. And, when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was wanting to me, the brethren supplied who came from Macedonia; and in all things I have kept myself from being burthensome to you, and so I will keep myself.
10. The truth of Christ is in me, that this glorying shall not be broken off in me in the regions of Achaia.
11. Wherefore? Because I love you not? God knoweth it.
12. But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off the occasion from them that desire occasion, that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.
