2 Corinthians 12:14-18 — Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁴Here ^afor this third time I am ready to come to you, and I ^bwill not be a burden to you; for I ^cdo not seek what is yours, but ^dyou. For ^echildren ought not to save up for their parents, but ^fparents for their children. ¹⁵So I will ^amost gladly spend and be fully spent for your souls. If ^bI love you more, am I to be loved less? ¹⁶But be that as it may, I ^adid not burden you myself. Nevertheless, crafty fellow that I am, I ^btook you in by deceit. ¹⁷^aHave I taken advantage of you through any of those whom I have sent to you? ¹⁸I ^aencouraged ^bTitus to go, and I sent ^cthe brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Did we not walk ¹in the same ^dspirit—^ein the very same steps?
