4For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or [if] ye receive a different spirit, which ye did not receive, or a different gospel, which ye did not accept, ye do well to bear with [him].
5For I reckon that I am not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
6But though [I be] rude in speech, yet [am I] not in knowledge; nay, in every way have we made [this] manifest unto you in all things.
7Or did I commit a sin in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I preached to you the gospel of God for nought?
8I robbed other churches, taking wages [of them] that I might minister unto you;
9and when I was present with you and was in want, I was not a burden on any man; for the brethren, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my want; and in everything I kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and [so] will I keep [myself].
10As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this glorying in the regions of Achaia.
