2 Corinthians 12:11-13

Expanded Bible

Paul’s Love for the Christians

¹¹ I have ·been talking like [^Lbecome] a fool, but you ·made me [compelled me to] do it. You are the ones who should ·say good things about [have commended] me. Even if I am ·worth nothing [^Lnothing], I am not at all inferior to those “·great [super-] apostles.”

¹² ·When I was with you, I patiently did the things that prove I am an apostle [^LThe signs of an apostle were performed among you, with all patience/perseverance]—signs, wonders, and ·miracles [powerful deeds]. ¹³ In what way were you treated worse than the rest of the churches, except that I was not a burden to you? Forgive me for this ·wrong [injustice]!
