and being of the same occupation, stayed with them and worked, for they were tentmakers by trade.

You yourselves know that these hands have provided for my needs and for those who were with me.

we labor, working with our own hands. When we are reviled, we bless; when we are persecuted, we endure it;

Or do Barnabas and I alone have no right to refrain from working?

by beatings, by imprisonments,
by riots, by labors,
by sleepless nights, by times of hunger,

For you yourselves know how you must imitate us: We were not irresponsible among you;

In fact, we labor and strive for this, because we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of everyone, especially of those who believe.

Chargeable

and we didn’t seek glory from people, either from you or from others.

When I was present with you and in need, I did not burden anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my needs. I have kept myself, and will keep myself, from burdening you in any way.

So in what way were you treated worse than the other churches, except that I personally did not burden you? Forgive me this wrong!

The gospel

Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, called as an apostle

and singled out for God’s good news—

to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, serving as a priest of God’s good news. My purpose is that the offering of the Gentiles may be acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

based on the glorious gospel of the blessed God, which was entrusted to me.
