2 Corinthians 12:17-21

Legacy Standard Bible

^17 (A)Have I taken advantage of you through any of those whom I have sent to you? ¹⁸ I ^(B)encouraged ^(C)Titus to go, and I sent ^(D)the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Did we not walk ^[a]in the same ^(E)spirit—^(F)in the very same steps?

¹⁹ All this time ^[b]you think we are defending ourselves to you. We speak in Christ ^(G)in the sight of God. ^(H)And all these things, ^(I)beloved, are for your building up. ²⁰ For I am afraid that perhaps ^(J)when I come I may find you to be not what I wish and may be found by you to be not what you wish; that perhaps there will be ^(K)strife, jealousy, ^(L)outbursts of anger, ^(M)selfish ambition, ^(N)slanders, ^(O)gossip, ^(P)arrogance, ^(Q)disturbances. ²¹ I am afraid that when I come again my God may humiliate me before you, and I may mourn over many of those who have ^(R)sinned in the past and not repented of the ^(S)impurity, sexual immorality, and sensuality which they have practiced.
