-or-
Surely I did not sin when I humbled myself so that you might be exalted/honored,

11:7b because I preached the gospel of God to you free of charge?

⌊which I did⌋ by proclaiming the gospel of God without cost to you?
-or-
because I did not accept any pay from you while I preached God’s message to you!
