I have not coveted anyone’s silver or gold or clothing.

You are not limited by us, but you are limited by your own affections.I speak as to my children. As a proper response, you should also be open to us.

When you enter any town, and they welcome you, eat the things set before you.

“ The one who welcomes you welcomes Me, and the one who welcomes Me welcomes Him who sent Me.

I am sending him back to you as a part of myself.

Therefore, welcome him in the Lord with all joy and hold men like him in honor,

I repeat: No one should consider me a fool. But if you do, at least accept me as a fool, so I too may boast a little.

We give no opportunity for stumbling to anyone, so that the ministry will not be blamed.But as God’s ministers, we commend ourselves in everything: by great endurance, by afflictions, by hardship, by difficulties,by beatings, by imprisonments, by riots, by labors, by sleepless nights, by times of hunger,by purity, by knowledge, by patience, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love,by the message of truth, by the power of God; through weapons of righteousness on the right hand and the left,

for such people do not serve our Lord Christ but their own appetites. They deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting with smooth talk and flattering words.

Instead, we have renounced shameful secret things, not walking in deceit or distorting God’s message, but commending ourselves to every person’s conscience in God’s sight by an open display of the truth.

Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, as does Mark, Barnabas’s cousin( concerning whom you have received instructions: if he comes to you, welcome him),

When I was present with you and in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my needs. I have kept myself, and will keep myself, from burdening you in any way.

(niv)

Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, with integrity and godly sincerity. We have done so, relying not on worldly wisdom but on God’s grace. (niv)

You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed. (niv)

So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. (niv)

For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you,nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you.We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate. (niv)

(niv)

Now I am ready to visit you for the third time, and I will not be a burden to you, because what I want is not your possessions but you. After all, children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.So I will very gladly spend for you everything I have and expend myself as well. If I love you more, will you love me less?Be that as it may, I have not been a burden to you. Yet, crafty fellow that I am, I caught you by trickery!Did I exploit you through any of the men I sent to you?I urged Titus to go to you and I sent our brother with him. Titus did not exploit you, did he? Did we not walk in the same footsteps by the same Spirit? (niv)

Then Moses became very angry and said to the Lord,“ Do not accept their offering. I have not taken so much as a donkey from them, nor have I wronged any of them.” (niv)

Here I stand. Testify against me in the presence of the Lord and his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? Whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed? From whose hand have I accepted a bribe to make me shut my eyes? If I have done any of these things, I will make it right.”“ You have not cheated or oppressed us,” they replied.“ You have not taken anything from anyone’s hand.” (niv)

If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet. (niv)

For the appeal we make does not spring from error or impure motives, nor are we trying to trick you.On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts.You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed— God is our witness.We were not looking for praise from people, not from you or anyone else, even though as apostles of Christ we could have asserted our authority.
