Thirsting Souls Bible Teaching

(2Co 11:7) “Have I committed an offence in abasing myself that ye might be exalted, because I have preached to you the gospel of God freely?”  “Abased myself”: instead of coming before them as a “somebody” who by right of position was entitled of material support; instead he asked nothing of them but a hearing of the gospel. “Abasing myself” indicates he had every right of such support.
