2 Corinthians 12:11-13
Christian Standard Bible
Signs of an Apostle
11 I have been a fool; you forced it on me. You ought to have commended me, since I am not in any way inferior to those “super-apostles,” even though I am nothing.(A) 12 The signs(B) of an apostle(C) were performed with unfailing endurance among you, including signs and wonders(D) and miracles.(E) 13 So in what way are you worse off than the other churches, except that I personally did not burden you? Forgive me for this wrong!

Paul’s Concern for the Christians at Corinth
11 I have become a fool! You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the preeminent apostles,[a] even if I am nothing. 12 Indeed, the signs of an apostle have been done among you with all patient endurance, both signs and wonders and deeds of power. 13 For in what respect are you made worse off[b] more than the rest of the churches, except that I myself was not a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!
