2 Corinthians 11:6-8
New English Translation
6 And even if I am unskilled[a] in speaking, yet I am certainly not so in knowledge. Indeed, we have made this plain to you in everything in every way. 7 Or did I commit a sin by humbling myself[b] so that you could be exalted, because I proclaimed[c] the gospel of God to you free of charge? 8 I robbed other churches by receiving support from them so that I could serve you![d]
