Haweis(i)
13 For what is there wherein ye have been inferior to the other churches, except that I have not been burdensome to you? Forgive me this wrong.
14 Lo! I hold myself ready the third time to come unto you, and I will not burden you; for I seek not yours but you: for the children ought not to lay up treasure for their parents, but the parents for the children.
15 And I will most cheerfully spend and be spent for your souls, though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.
16 But admit it, I was not burdensome to you: but being crafty, I caught you with guile.
17 Did I make a gain of you by any one individual whom I sent unto you?
18 I entreated Titus [to go to you], and with him I sent a brother. Did Titus make any advantage of you? walked we not in the same spirit? walked we not in the same steps?
19 Think ye that we are again making an apology to you? In the sight of God speak we in Christ: but all things, beloved, for your edification.
