that I will accept nothing belonging to you, not even a thread or the strap of a sandal, so that you will never be able to say,‘ I made Abram rich.’

I’ve said I will not accept anything that belongs to you. I will not take even a thread or the strap of a sandal. You will never be able to say,‘ I made Abram rich.’

that I would not take a thread or a sandal strap or anything that is yours, lest you should say,‘ I have made Abram rich.’

that I will not take so much as a single thread or sandal thong from what belongs to you. Otherwise you might say,‘ I am the one who made Abram rich.’

that I will not take a thread or sandal strap or anything that belongs to you, so you can never say,‘ I made Abram rich.’

that I will not take a thread or a sandal strap or anything that is yours, so that you do not say,‘ I have made Abram rich.’

that I will take nothing, from a thread to a sandal strap, and that I will not take anything that is yours, lest you should say,‘ I have made Abram rich’—

that I will not take a thread nor a shoe- latchet nor aught that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:

that I will not take a thread or sandal strap or anything that belongs to you, so you can never say,‘ I made Abram rich.’

That I will not[ take] from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that[ is] thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich:

But Elisha replied,“ As certainly as the LORD lives( whom I serve), I will take nothing from you.” Naaman insisted that he take it, but he refused.

The Jews who were in Susa then assembled on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and they killed three hundred men in Susa. But they did not confiscate their property.The rest of the Jews who were throughout the provinces of the king assembled in order to stand up for themselves and to have rest from their enemies. They killed seventy-five thousand of their adversaries, but they did not confiscate their property.

Gehazi, the prophet Elisha’s servant, thought,“ Look, my master did not accept what this Syrian Naaman offered him. As certainly as the LORD lives, I will run after him and accept something from him.”

Your conduct must be free from the love of money and you must be content with what you have, for he has said,“ I will never leave you and I will never abandon you.”

When I was with you and was in need, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia fully supplied my needs. I kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be stopped in the regions of Achaia.Why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!And what I am doing I will continue to do, so that I may eliminate any opportunity for those who want a chance to be regarded as our equals in the things they boast about.

Look, for the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you, because I do not want your possessions, but you. For children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.

But the prophet said to the king,“ Even if you were to give me half your possessions, I could not go with you and eat and drink in this place.
