¹² If others share the right over you, do we not more? Nevertheless, we ^(A)did not use this right, but we endure all things ^(B)so that we will cause no hindrance to the ^(C)gospel of Christ.

¹⁸ What, then, is my ^(A)reward? That, when I preach the gospel, I may offer the gospel ^(B)without charge, so as ^(C)not to make full use of my right in the gospel.

⁹ and when I was present with you and was in need, I was ^(A)not a burden to anyone; for when ^(B)the brothers came from ^(C)Macedonia they fully supplied my need, and in everything I kept myself from ^(D)being a burden to you, ^[a]and will continue to do so.

¹⁴ Here ^(A)for this third time I am ready to come to you, and I ^(B)will not be a burden to you; for I ^(C)do not seek what is yours, but ^(D)you; for ^(E)children are not responsible to save up for their parents, but ^(F)parents for their children.
