2 Corinthians 12:11-13
New American Standard Bible
11 I have become (A)foolish; you yourselves compelled me. Actually I should have been commended by you, since I was (B)in no respect inferior to the [a]most eminent apostles, even though (C)I am a nobody. 12 The (D)distinguishing marks [b]of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance, by [c]signs, wonders, and [d]miracles. 13 For in what respect were you treated as inferior to the rest of the churches, except that (E)I myself did not become a burden to you? Forgive me (F)this wrong!

Paul’s Concern for the Corinthians
11 You have made me act like a fool. You ought to be writing commendations for me, for I am not at all inferior to these “super apostles,” even though I am nothing at all. 12 When I was with you, I certainly gave you proof that I am an apostle. For I patiently did many signs and wonders and miracles among you. 13 The only thing I failed to do, which I do in the other churches, was to become a financial burden to you. Please forgive me for this wrong!
