2 Corinthians 12:13-19 For what is it wherein ye were inferiors unto other congregations? Except it be therein that I was not grievous unto you. Forgive me this wrong done unto you.

MSTC⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ For what is it wherein ye were inferiors unto other congregations? Except it be therein that I was not grievous unto you. Forgive me this wrong done unto you. ¹⁴ Behold now, the third time, I am ready to come unto you, and yet will I not be grievous unto you. For I seek not yours, but you. Also the children ought not to lay up for the fathers and mothers: but the fathers and mothers for the children. ¹⁵ I will very gladly bestow, and will be bestowed for your souls: though the more I love you, the less I am loved again. ¹⁶ But be it that I grieved you not: nevertheless I was crafty and took you with guile. ¹⁷ Did I defraud you by any of them which I sent unto you? ¹⁸ I desired Titus, and with him I sent a brother: Did Titus defraud you of any thing? Walked we not in one spirit? Walked we not in like steps? ¹⁹ Again, think ye that we excuse ourselves? We speak in Christ in the sight of God. But we do all things, dearly beloved, for your edifying.
