2 Corinthians 12:14-17 Behold, a third time I fare readily to come to you, and I will not be burdensome to you, for I seek not the things of you, but you. For the children ought not lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ Behold, a third time I fare readily to come to you, and I will not be burdensome to you, for I seek not the things of you, but you. For the children ought not lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. ¹⁵ And I most gladly will spend, and will be spent for your souls. Even though more earnestly loving you, the worse I am loved. ¹⁶ But let it be. I did not burden you. Nevertheless, being clever, I caught you with bait. ¹⁷ Any man of whom I have sent to you, did I exploit you through him?
