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.
When I was with you and needed something, I didn't ask anyone to pay for it. The brothers who came from Macedonia helped me instead. I never asked for anything that would make things difficult for you, and I won't in the future either.
