2 Corinthians 11:7-13

7Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I proclaimed to you God’s Good News free of charge?

8I robbed other communities by taking wages from them for service to you.

9When I was present with you and I was in need, I did not burden anyone; for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my need. In everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and I will continue to do so.

10As the truth of Messiah is in me, this boasting of mine will not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.

11Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!

12But what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may cut off the opportunity from those who want an opportunity in what they boast about to also be regarded just as we are.

13For such men are false emissaries, deceitful workers masquerading as Messiah’s emissaries.
