³ Here I am. Answer against me in front of Jehovah and in front of his anointed+ one:* Whose bull have I taken or whose ass have I taken+ or whom have I defrauded or* whom have I crushed or from whose hand have I accepted hush money* that I should hide my eyes with it?*+ And I shall make restoration to YOU people.”+

⁸ Cure sick people,+ raise up dead persons, make lepers clean, expel demons. YOU received free, give free.+

¹² If other men partake of this authority over YOU,+ do we not much more so? Nevertheless, we have not made use of this authority,+ but we are bearing all things, in order that we might not offer any hindrance to the good news+ about the Christ.

² ALLOW room for us.*+ We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have taken advantage of no one.+

⁷ For an overseer* must be free from accusation+ as God’s steward,*+ not self-willed,+ not prone to wrath,+ not a drunken brawler,+ not a smiter,+ not greedy of dishonest gain,+
