或云我雖不累爾、而以詭計取爾、

有謗我者、言雖不累爾、而以詭計取爾、

或有人云、我雖不累爾、乃為狡詐之人、以計取爾、

或曰：正惟彼不累爾、彼蓋矯情以取信、將間接貽爾以大累耳。

Be that as it may, I have not been a burden to you. Yet, crafty fellow that I am, I caught you by trickery!

In any case, I haven’t caused you any expense. But I’m so tricky! I have caught you by tricking you! Or so you think!

But granting that I myself did not burden you, I was crafty, you say, and got the better of you by deceit.

Some of you admit I was not a burden to you. But others still think I was sneaky and took advantage of you by trickery.

Now granted, I did not burden you; yet sly as I am, I took you in by deceit!

But be that as it may, I did not burden you myself; nevertheless, devious person that I am, I took you in by deceit.

But be that as it may, I did not burden you. Nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you by cunning!

But be it so, I did not myself burden you; but, being crafty, I caught you with guile.

Now granted, I have not burdened you; yet sly as I am, I took you in by deceit!

But be it so, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile.

But be that as it may, I have not burdened you. Yet because I was a crafty person, I took you in by deceit!

Even so, I myself didn’t burden you.“ But, being crafty, I caught you with deception.”

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)

And when I was with you and needed something, I was not a burden to anyone, for the brothers who came from Macedonia supplied what I needed. I have kept myself from being a burden to you in any way, and will continue to do so.As surely as the truth of Christ is in me, nobody in the regions of Achaia will stop this boasting of mine. (niv)

How were you inferior to the other churches, except that I was never a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong! (niv)

I beg you that when I come I may not have to be as bold as I expect to be toward some people who think that we live by the standards of this world.For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. (niv)

You know we never used flattery, nor did we put on a mask to cover up greed— God is our witness. (niv)

For the appeal we make does not spring from error or impure motives, nor are we trying to trick you. (niv)

Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to everyone’s conscience in the sight of God. (niv)

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

now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. (niv)
