2 Corinthians 12:14-18

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁴ Here ^(A)for this third time I am ready to come to you, and I ^(B)will not be a burden to you; for I ^(C)do not seek what is yours, but ^(D)you. For ^(E)children ought not to save up for their parents, but ^(F)parents for their children. ¹⁵ So I will ^(G)most gladly spend and be fully spent for your souls. If ^(H)I love you more, am I to be loved less? ¹⁶ But be that as it may, I ^(I)did not burden you myself. Nevertheless, crafty fellow that I am, I ^(J)took you in by deceit. ^17 (K)Have I taken advantage of you through any of those whom I have sent to you? ¹⁸ I ^(L)encouraged ^(M)Titus to go, and I sent ^(N)the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Did we not walk ^[a]in the same ^(O)spirit—^(P)in the very same steps?
