Services Rendered

From the entry in Wikipedia on the Legacy of John Knox,
Knox claimed in his will, "None have I corrupted, none have I defrauded; merchandise have I not made." The paltry sum of money Knox bequeathed to his family, which would have left them in dire poverty, showed that he had not profited from his work in the Kirk [i.e. church].
Some give the church their best efforts. Others give their lives.
