2 Corinthians 11:7 in context

  1. 5For I reckon that I am not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.
  2. 6But though I be rude in speech, yet am I not in knowledge; nay, in every way have we made this manifest unto you in all things.
  3. 7Or did I commit a sin in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I preached to you the gospel of God for nought?
  4. 8I robbed other churches, taking wages of them that I might minister unto you;
  5. 9and when I was present with you and was in want, I was not a burden on any man; for the brethren, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my want; and in everything I kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.
