3But I have a fear, that in some way, as Eve was tricked by the deceit of the snake, your minds may be turned away from their simple and holy love for Christ.
4For if anyone comes preaching another Jesus from the one whose preachers we are, or if you have got a different spirit, or a different sort of good news from those which came to you, how well you put up with these things.
5For in my opinion, I am in no way less than the most important of the Apostles.
6But though I am rough in my way of talking, I am not so in knowledge, as we have made clear to all by our acts among you.
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.
