2 Corinthians 12:13-19 For what is it which ye were inferior to the rest of the churches, except that I myself acted not with negligence to you? favor me for this injustice.

JuliaSmith⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ For what is it which ye were inferior to the rest of the churches, except that I myself acted not with negligence to you? favor me for this injustice. ¹⁴ Behold, I have prepared to come to you the third time; and I will not act with negligence to you: for I seek not your things, but you: for children ought not to treasure up for parents, but parents for children. ¹⁵ And I very willingly will expend and be expended for your souls; if also loving you more abundantly, the less I should be loved. ¹⁶ And "let it be, I overloaded you not: but being dexterous, I took you by contrivance. ¹⁷ Not any of whom I have sent to you have I by him taken advantage of you. ¹⁸ I called for Titus, and sent with a brother. Has Titus taken advantage of you? walked we not in the same spirit? not in the same steps?? ¹⁹ Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves to you? before God in Christ we speak: and all things, beloved, for your building up.
