2 Corinthians 12:18-21

English Standard Version

^18 (A)I urged Titus to go, and sent ^(B)the brother with him. Did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not act in the same spirit? Did we not take the same steps?

¹⁹ Have you been thinking all along that we have been defending ourselves to you? It is ^(C)in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ, and ^(D)all for your upbuilding, beloved. ²⁰ For I fear that perhaps ^(E)when I come I may find you not as I wish, and that you may find me not as you wish—that perhaps there may be quarreling, jealousy, anger, hostility, slander, gossip, conceit, and disorder. ²¹ I fear that when I come again my God may humble me before you, and I may have to mourn over many of those ^(F)who sinned earlier and have not repented of the impurity, ^(G)sexual immorality, and sensuality that they have practiced.
