2 Corinthians 11:6-8
Amplified Bible
2 Corinthians 11:6-8
Amplified Bible
6 But even if I am unskilled in speaking, yet I am not [untrained] in [a]knowledge [I know what I am talking about]; but we have made this evident to you in every way, in all things.
7 Or did I [perhaps] sin by humbling myself so that you might be exalted and honored, because I preached God’s gospel to you [b]free of charge? 8 I robbed other churches by accepting [more than their share of] financial support for my ministry to you.
