Read down to the center, where the pattern turns; then rise back out through its mirror.

A 7a Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted,
- B 7b because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?
  - C 8 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.
    - D 9a And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man:
  - C' 9b for that which was lacking to me the brethren which came from Macedonia supplied:
- B' 9c-10 and in all things I have kept myself from being burdensome unto you, and so will I keep myself. As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
A' 11 Wherefore? because I love you not? God knoweth.
