2 Corinthians 11:10-12
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
10 By the truth of Christ in me, this boast of mine shall not be silenced in the regions of Achaia.(A) 11 [a]And why? Because I do not love you? God knows I do!(B)
12 And what I do I will continue to do, in order to end this pretext of those who seek a pretext for being regarded as we are in the mission of which they boast.

- 11:11–12 Paul rejects lack of affection as his motive (possibly imputed to him by his opponents) and states his real motive, a desire to emphasize the disparity between himself and the others (cf. 2 Cor 11:19–21). The topic of his gratuitous service will be taken up once more in 2 Cor 12:13–18. 1 Cor 9:15–18 gives a different but complementary explanation of his motivation.

10 As surely as the truth of Christ is in me,(A) nobody in the regions of Achaia(B) will stop this boasting(C) of mine. 11 Why? Because I do not love you? God knows(D) I do!(E)
12 And I will keep on doing what I am doing in order to cut the ground from under those who want an opportunity to be considered equal with us in the things they boast about.
