2 Corinthians 12:13-19 For in what way were you less favoured than other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong.

RKJNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ For in what way were you less favoured than other churches, except that I myself was not burdensome to you? forgive me this wrong. ¹⁴ Behold, for the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I do not seek what is yours, but you: for the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children. ¹⁵ And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I to be loved the less? ¹⁶ But be that as it may, I did not burden you: nevertheless, being crafty, I caught you with guile. ¹⁷ Did I take advantage of you by any of those whom I sent to you? ¹⁸ I urged Titus to go, and with him I sent the brother. Did Titus take advantage of you? did we not act in the same spirit and walk in the same steps? ¹⁹ All this time have you been thinking that we are defending ourselves to you? we speak before God in Christ: but we do all things, dearly beloved, for your strengthening.
