2 Corinthians 12:16-19 But be that as it may, I did not burden you myself. Yet, crafty fellow that I am, I caught you by trickery!

Common⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ But be that as it may, I did not burden you myself. Yet, crafty fellow that I am, I caught you by trickery! ¹⁷ Did I take advantage of you through any of those whom I sent to you? ¹⁸ I urged Titus to go, and I sent the brother with him. Titus did not take advantage of you, did he? Did we not act in the same spirit and walk in the same steps? ¹⁹ Have you been thinking all along that we have been defending ourselves before you? It is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ, and all for your upbuilding, beloved.
