2 CORINTHIANS 11:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“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.”
And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I lacked. I have kept myself, and will keep myself, from being a burden to you in any way — the *Macedonians* (*again*!) provided Paul's *hysterēma*, lack. His *self-sufficiency* in voluntary poverty stands in *stark contrast* to the super-apostles' *greed*.
