Lecture 2 — Paul’s equality with the apostles

I think that I am not in the least inferior to these superlative apostles.

Even if I am unskilled in speaking, I am not in knowledge; in every way we have made this plain to you in all things.

Did I commit a sin in abasing myself so that you might be exalted, because I preached God's gospel without cost to you?

I robbed other churches by accepting support from them in order to serve you.

And when I was with you and was in want, I did not burden any one, for my needs were supplied by the brethren who came from Macedo'nia. So I refrained and will refrain from burdening you in any way.
