2 Corinthians 12:13-19

Riverside(i) 13 What is there in which you were made inferior to the rest of the churches except that I was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong. 14 Now this third time I am ready to come to you, and I shall not be a burden to you. For I am not seeking yours, but you. For the children ought not to lay up money for the parents, but the parents for the children. 15 And I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you too much, am I loved the less? 16 Be that as it may, I was not a burden to you. But being crafty I caught you with cunning? 17 Did I take advantage of you through any one of those I sent to you? 18 I begged Titus to go, and I sent along with him the brother. Did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not act in the same spirit and walk in the same steps? 19 Are you thinking all this while that we are defending ourselves to you? We are speaking before God in Christ. All this, beloved, is to build you up.
