2 Corinthians 12:13-19

LITV(i) 13 For what is it in which you were less than the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not burden you? Forgive me this wrong. 14 Behold, I am ready to come to you a third time . And I will not burden you, for I do not seek your things, but you. For the children ought not to lay up treasure for the parents, but the parents for the children. 15 But I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls, even if loving you more and more, I am loved the less. 16 But let it be so, I did not burden you; but being crafty, I caught you with bait. 17 By any whom I have sent to you, did I overreach you by him? 18 I begged Titus and sent the brother with him . Did Titus overreach you? Did we not walk in the same spirit? Did we not walk in the same steps? 19 Again, do you think we are defending to you? We speak before God in Christ, but in all things for your building up, beloved.
