5 For I think that I am not in any way inferior to these “superapostles.”
6 Even if I am untrained in speaking, I am not so in knowledge; in every way we have made this plain to you in all things.
7 Did I make a mistake when I humbled myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you without charge?
8 I plundered other churches by accepting from them in order to minister to you.
9 And when I was with you and in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my needs. So I refrained and will refrain from burdening you in any way.
10 By the truth of Christ in me, this boast of mine shall not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.
11 And why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!
