2 Corinthians 12:11-13

The Voice

¹¹ I have become a fool, but you drove me to it. Why didn’t you stick up for me? I may not be much, but you could have shown me the same respect as you did the other so-called great emissaries.^[a] I am not inferior to them in the least. ¹² Miracles, wonders, and signs were all performed right before your eyes, proving I am who I say, a true emissary of Jesus. ¹³ With the exception of not asking you to shoulder the burden of my care, I have treated you no differently from any other churches. Forgive me for wronging you by not charging for my services!
