2 Corinthians 12:13-18 For what is it that ye were inferior in to the rest of the churches, unless it be that I myself was not burdensome to you?--- Forgive me this injury.

Worsley⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ For what is it that ye were inferior in to the rest of the churches, unless it be that I myself was not burdensome to you?--- Forgive me this injury. ¹⁴ Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not your substance, but your selves. For children are not expected to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children. ¹⁵ And I will with the greatest pleasure spend and be spent for your souls; even though the more I love you, the less I should be loved. ¹⁶ Be it so, that I did not burden you myself, yet, may some say, being crafty I over-reached you by subtilty. ¹⁷ But did I make a gain of you by any of those whom I sent to you? ¹⁸ I desired Titus to come to you, and with him I sent a brother: did Titus make a gain of you? did we not walk in the same spirit? did we not tread in the same steps?
