Paul is beginning to claim that he treated the Corinthians well. This rhetorical question can be translated as a statement, if necessary. Alternate translation: "I think we agree that I did not sin by humbling myself so you might be exalted" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion)
freely preached the gospel of God to you
"preached the gospel of God to you without expecting anything from you in return"
