Please let us go to the Jordan, and we each man shall take a beam from there, and we shall make for ourselves a place there, to live there. And he said, Go.
But I have not used one of these. And I do not write these things that it be so in me. For it is good to me rather to die than that anyone nullify my glorying.
And being present with you and lacking, I was not a burden to anyone. The brothers coming from Macedonia completely made up for my need. And in every way I kept myself without burden to you, and I will keep myself.
For, brothers, you remember our labor and toil, night and day, working in order not to put a burden on any one of you, we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.
