2 Corinthians 11:7-13

7Or did I [perhaps] sin by humbling myself so that you might be exalted and honored, because I preached God’s gospel to you free of charge?

8I robbed other churches by accepting [more than their share of] financial support for my ministry to you.

9And when I was with you and ran short [financially], I did not burden any of you; for what I needed was fully supplied by the brothers (Silas and Timothy) who came from Macedonia (the church at Philippi). So I kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.

10As the truth of Christ is in me, my boast [of independence] will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia (southern Greece).

11Why? Because I do not love you [or wish you well, or have regard for your welfare]? God knows [that I do]!

12But what I am doing I will keep doing, [for I am determined to keep this independence] in order to cut off the claim of those who want an opportunity to be regarded just as we are in the things they brag about.

13For such men are counterfeit apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as apostles of Christ.
