5for I reckon that I have been nothing behind the very chiefest apostles,
6and even if unlearned in word -- yet not in knowledge, but in every thing we were made manifest in all things to you.
7The sin did I do -- myself humbling that ye might be exalted, because freely the good news of God I did proclaim to you?
8other assemblies I did rob, having taken wages, for your ministration;
9and being present with you, and having been in want, I was chargeable to no one, for my lack did the brethren supply -- having come from Macedonia -- and in everything burdenless to you I did keep myself, and will keep.
10The truth of Christ is in me, because this boasting shall not be stopped in regard to me in the regions of Achaia;
11wherefore? because I do not love you? God hath known!
