2 Corinthians 12:13-19 For in what is it that you were inferior beyond the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not burden you? Forgive me this wrong!

BLB⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ For in what is it that you were inferior beyond the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not burden you? Forgive me this wrong! ¹⁴ Behold, this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not burden you. For I do not seek what is yours, but you. For the children ought not to treasure up for the parents, but the parents for the children. ¹⁵ Now I will spend most gladly, and will be utterly spent, for your souls. If loving you more abundantly, am I loved less? ¹⁶ But be it so, I did not burden you; but being crafty, I caught you by trickery. ¹⁷ By any of whom I have sent to you, did I exploit you by him? ¹⁸ I urged Titus to go, and sent with him our brother. Did Titus exploit you? Did we not walk in the same spirit? Not in the same steps? ¹⁹ Have you been thinking all along that we have been making a defense to you? We speak in Christ before God, but all things, beloved, for your edification.
