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.
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.
