⁴You happily put up with whatever anyone tells you, even if they preach a different Jesus than the one we preach, or a different kind of Spirit than the one you received, or a different kind of gospel than the one you believed. ⁵But I don’t consider myself inferior in any way to these “super apostles” who teach such things. ⁶I may be unskilled as a speaker, but I’m not lacking in knowledge. We have made this clear to you in every possible way. ⁷Was I wrong when I humbled myself and honored you by preaching God’s Good News to you without expecting anything in return? ⁸I “robbed” other churches by accepting their contributions so I could serve you at no cost. ⁹And when I was with you and didn’t have enough to live on, I did not become a financial burden to anyone. For the brothers who came from Macedonia brought me all that I needed. I have never been a burden to you, and I never will be. ¹⁰As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, no one in all of Greece#11:10 Greek Achaia, the southern region of the Greek peninsula. will ever stop me from boasting about this. ¹¹Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows that I do. ¹²But I will continue doing what I have always done. This will undercut those who are looking for an opportunity to boast that their work is just like ours.
