How were you inferior to the other churches, except that I was never a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

How were you less important than the other churches? The only difference was that I didn’t cause you any expense. Forgive me for that wrong!

For in what were you less favored than the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not burden you? Forgive me this wrong!

The only thing I failed to do, which I do in the other churches, was to become a financial burden to you. Please forgive me for this wrong!

For in what respect were you treated as inferior to the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not become a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

For what is it in which you were inferior to other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong!

For what is there wherein ye were made inferior to the rest of the churches, except it be that I myself was not a burden to you? forgive me this wrong.

If others have this right to receive benefits from you, don’t we even more? Nevertheless, we have not made use of this right; instead, we endure everything so that we will not hinder the gospel of Christ.

Or do only Barnabas and I have no right to refrain from working?

Or did I commit a sin by humbling myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?I robbed other churches by taking pay from them to minister to you.When I was present with you and in need, I did not burden anyone, since the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my needs. I have kept myself, and will keep myself, from burdening you in any way.

Look, I am ready to come to you this third time. I will not burden you, since I am not seeking what is yours, but you. For children ought not save up for their parents, but parents for their children.

For my part I have used none of these rights, nor have I written these things that they may be applied in my case. For it would be better for me to die than for anyone to deprive me of my boast!For if I preach the gospel, I have no reason to boast, because I am compelled to preach— and woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!For if I do this willingly, I have a reward, but if unwillingly, I am entrusted with a commission.What then is my reward? To preach the gospel and offer it free of charge and not make full use of my rights in the gospel.
