7 ¿Pequé yo humillándome á mí mismo, para que vosotros fueseis ensalzados, porque os he predicado el evangelio de Dios de balde?

8 He despojado las otras iglesias, recibiendo salario para ministraros á vosotros.

9 Y estando con vosotros y teniendo necesidad, á ninguno fuí carga; porque lo que me faltaba, suplieron los hermanos que vinieron de Macedonia: y en todo me guardé de seros gravoso, y me guardaré.

11 ¿Por qué? ¿porque no os amo? Dios lo sabe.
