In context

7Was it a sin for me to humble myself in order to exalt you, because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?

9And when I was with you and in need, I was not a burden to anyone; for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied my needs. I have refrained from being a burden to you in any way, and I will continue to do so.
