2 Corinthians 12:11-15

MLV(i) 11 I have become a boasting fool. You urged me to it. For I ought to have been commended by you; for I lacked in nothing over those preeminent apostles, even if I am nothing. 12 Indeed the signs of an apostle were worked among you in all endurance, in signs and wonders and miracles. 13 For in what is it that you were lesser, beyond the rest of the congregations, except in that I myself did not encumber you? Forgive me this unrighteousness!
14 Behold, I hold ready to come to you the third-time, and I will not be encumbering you; for I am not seeking the things of you, but you; for the children ought not to store up for the parents, but the parents for the children. 15 Now I will gladly spend and be utterly spent on behalf of your souls; even if, when loving you even-more, means I am loved even-less.
