2 Corinthians 12:15-19 And as for me, I will, with the greatest pleasure, spend and be spent for your sakes, though the more I love you, the less I be beloved.

Thomson⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁵ And as for me, I will, with the greatest pleasure, spend and be spent for your sakes, though the more I love you, the less I be beloved. ¹⁶ Now be it so that I did not burthen you, but being crafty I took you in by artifice. ¹⁷ Did I take an undue advantage of you by any of them whom I sent to you? ¹⁸ I entreated Titus to go, and with him I sent the brother. Did Titus take any undue advantage of you? Did we not walk in the same spirit? Did we not in the same steps? ¹⁹ Do you think we are again making apologies to you? In the presence of God we speak as in Christ. And all these things, beloved, are for your edification.
