2 Corinthians 11:9

Bishops' Bible (1568)

And when I was present with you, and had nede, I was chargeable to no man: for that which was lackyng vnto me, the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied, and in all thynges I haue kept my selfe so that I shoulde not be chargeable to any man, and so wyll I kepe my selfe.
