7Or did I do wrong in making myself low so that you might be lifted up, because I gave you the good news of God without reward?
8I took money from other churches as payment for my work, so that I might be your servant;
9And when I was present with you, and was in need, I let no man be responsible for me; for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, gave me whatever was needed; and in everything I kept myself from being a trouble to you, and I will go on doing so.
10As the true word of Christ is in me, I will let no man take from me this my cause of pride in the country of Achaia.
11Why? because I have no love for you? let God be judge.
12But what I do, that I will go on doing, so that I may give no chance to those who are looking for one; so that, in the cause of their pride, they may be seen to be the same as we are.
13For such men are false Apostles, workers of deceit, making themselves seem like Apostles of Christ.
