He comforts me in all my trouble, so that I can comfort people who are in any trouble with the comfort with which I myself am comforted by God.

I mean to have no one able to find any fault with the way I handle this munificence.

and am prepared to punish any trace of disobedience when you have made your obedience perfectly clear.

Do you think that I did wrong in degrading myself to uplift you, because I preached God's good news to you without any compensation?

And when I was with you and wanted money, I did not burden any of you, for when the brothers came from Macedonia they supplied what I needed. So I kept myself, as I shall always do, from being a burden to you in any way.

This will be my third visit to you. Any charge must be sustained by the evidence of two or three witnesses.
