All these things I showed to you, for so it behooveth men travailing to receive sick men, and to have mind of the word of the Lord Jesus; for he said, It is more blessful [or more blessed] to give, than to receive.
What then is my meed? That I preaching the gospel, put the gospel without others’ cost, [or expense, either taking of sustenance therefore], that I use [or mis-use] not my power in the gospel.
and now I have joy in passion for you, and I [ful] fill those things that fail of the passions of Christ in my flesh, for his body, that is the church.
