2 Corinthians 11:8

---

← 2 Corinthians 11:7	2 Corinthians 11:8 (KJV)	2 Corinthians 11:9 →
Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?	I robbed other churches, taking wages [of them], to do you service.	And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all [things] I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and [so] will I keep [myself].
