2 Corinthians 12:11-13
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
I Ought To Be Commended By You, For I Did The Signs of The Apostle Among You
11 I have become foolish— you compelled me! For I ought to be being commended by you! For I in no way came-short-of the superlative[a] apostles, even though I am nothing; 12 the signs[b] of the apostle were produced among you in[c] all endurance in both signs and wonders, and miracles.
My Only Shortcoming Is Not Letting You Pay Me! I Will Gladly Spend Myself For You!
13 For what is it as to which you were worse-off [d] than the other churches?— except that I myself did not burden[e] you. Forgive me this wrong-doing!

Paul’s Concern for the Corinthians
11 I have made a fool of myself,(A) but you drove me to it. I ought to have been commended by you, for I am not in the least inferior to the “super-apostles,”[a](B) even though I am nothing.(C) 12 I persevered in demonstrating among you the marks of a true apostle, including signs, wonders and miracles.(D) 13 How were you inferior to the other churches, except that I was never a burden to you?(E) Forgive me this wrong!(F)
