For ye remember, brethren, our labor and travail: for laboring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the good news of Elohim.
But the former governors that had been before me were chargeable unto the people, and had taken of them bread and wine, beside forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants bare rule over the people: but so did not I, because of the fear of Elohim.
Now that which was prepared for me daily was one ox and six choice sheep; also fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine: yet for all this required not I the bread of the governor, because the bondage was heavy upon this people.
But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Master Yahshua, to testify the good news of the grace of Elohim.
That I should be the minister of Yahshua the Messiah to the Gentiles, ministering the good news of Elohim, that the offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of Yahweh; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the good news of the Messiah.
But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were better for me to die, than that any man should make my boasting void.
What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the good news, I may make the good news of the Messiah without charge, that I abuse not my power in the good news.
And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied: and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself.
Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labor of love, and patience of hope in our Master Yahshua the Messiah, in the sight of our Elohim and Father;
But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our Elohim to speak unto you the good news of Elohim with much contention.
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living Yahweh, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe.
