2 Corinthians 12:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹³ For what is there that you have had less than the other churches, but that I myself was not burthensome to you? Pardon me this injury.

¹⁴ Behold now the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burthensome unto you. For I seek not the things that are yours, but you. For neither ought the children to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

¹⁵ But I most gladly will spend and be spent myself for your souls; although loving you more, I be loved less.
