For we write no other things to you, but what ye own and acknowledge, and I hope ye will always acknowledge.

And as ye abound in every other grace, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, that ye may abound in this grace also.

I speak not by way of command, but to prove the sincerity of your love also, by means of the forwardness of others.

For I do not mean that others should have relief, and you be burdened:

Not boasting of things beyond our limits in other men's labors; but having hope that, when your faith is increased, we shall be abundantly enlarged by you according to our line,

I trespassed on other churches, receiving maintenance from them for your service.
