2 Corinthians 12:14-18

Paul’s Concern for the Corinthians

For children ought not save up for their parents, but parents for their children. 15 I will most gladly spend and be spent for you.[a](B) If I love you more, am I to be loved less? 16 Now granted, I did not burden(C) you; yet sly as I am, I took you in by deceit!(D) 17 Did I take advantage of you by any of those I sent you? 18 I urged Titus(E) to go, and I sent the brother with him. Titus didn’t take advantage of you, did he? Didn’t we walk in the same spirit(F) and in the same footsteps?
