Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one.

Make room for us in your hearts. We haven’t done anything wrong to anyone. We haven’t caused anyone to sin. We haven’t taken advantage of anyone.

Make room in your hearts for us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one.

Please open your hearts to us. We have not done wrong to anyone, nor led anyone astray, nor taken advantage of anyone.

Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, corrupted no one, taken advantage of no one.

Make room for us in your hearts; we have wronged no one, we corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one.

Open your hearts to us. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have cheated no one.

Open your hearts to us: we wronged no man, we corrupted no man, we took advantage of no man.

Accept us. We have wronged no one, corrupted no one, defrauded no one.

Receive us; we have wronged no man, we have corrupted no man, we have defrauded no man.

Make room for us in your hearts; we have wronged no one, we have ruined no one, we have exploited no one.

I coveted no one’s silver, gold, or clothing.

You are not restricted by us, but you are restricted by your own affections.Now in return, I speak as to my children: you also open your hearts.

Into whatever city you enter, and they receive you, eat the things that are set before you.

He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives him who sent me.

I am sending him back. Therefore receive him, that is, my own heart,

Receive him therefore in the Lord with all joy, and hold such people in honor,

I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.

We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,but in everything commending ourselves, as servants of God, in great endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,in beatings, in imprisonments, in riots, in labors, in watchings, in fastings;in pureness, in knowledge, in perseverance, in kindness, in the Holy Spirit, in sincere love,in the word of truth, in the power of God; by the armor of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,

For those who are such don’t serve our Lord, Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and flattering speech, they deceive the hearts of the innocent.

But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by the manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.

Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, greets you, and Mark, the cousin of Barnabas( concerning whom you received commandments,“ if he comes to you, receive him”),

When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn’t a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so.

(niv)

Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, with integrity and godly sincerity. We have done so, relying not on worldly wisdom but on God’s grace. (niv)

You are witnesses, and so is God, of how holy, righteous and blameless we were among you who believed. (niv)

So if you consider me a partner, welcome him as you would welcome me. (niv)

For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example. We were not idle when we were with you,nor did we eat anyone’s food without paying for it. On the contrary, we worked night and day, laboring and toiling so that we would not be a burden to any of you.We did this, not because we do not have the right to such help, but in order to offer ourselves as a model for you to imitate. (niv)

(niv)

Now I am ready to visit you for the third time, and I will not be a burden to you, because what I want is not your possessions but you. After all, children should not have to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.So I will very gladly spend for you everything I have and expend myself as well. If I love you more, will you love me less?Be that as it may, I have not been a burden to you. Yet, crafty fellow that I am, I caught you by trickery!Did I exploit you through any of the men I sent to you?I urged Titus to go to you and I sent our brother with him. Titus did not exploit you, did he? Did we not walk in the same footsteps by the same Spirit? (niv)

Then Moses became very angry and said to the Lord,“ Do not accept their offering. I have not taken so much as a donkey from them, nor have I wronged any of them.” (niv)

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.”“ You have not cheated or oppressed us,” they replied.“ You have not taken anything from anyone’s hand.” (niv)

If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, leave that home or town and shake the dust off your feet. (niv)

For the appeal we make does not spring from error or impure motives, nor are we trying to trick you.On the contrary, we speak as those approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel. We are not trying to please people but God, who tests our hearts.You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed— God is our witness.We were not looking for praise from people, not from you or anyone else, even though as apostles of Christ we could have asserted our authority.
