Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things... 2 Corinthians 7:2 Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man. 2 Corinthians 11:9 And when I was present with you, and wanted, I was chargeable to no man... 2 Corinthians 12:14,17 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours but you... 1 Peter 5:2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre...

1 Samuel 12:3 Here I stand. Testify against me in the presence of the LORD and his anointed. Whose ox have I taken? Whose donkey have I taken? Whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed? From whose hand have I accepted a bribe to make me shut my eyes? If I have done any of these things, I will make it right."
1 Corinthians 9:4 Don't we have the right to food and drink?
