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?

Paul’s Concern for the Corinthians

14 Look, I am ready to come to you this third time.(A) I will not burden you, since I am not seeking what is yours, but you. For children ought not save up for their parents, but parents for their children. 15 I will most gladly spend and be spent for you.[a](B) If I love you more, am I to be loved less? 16 Now granted, I did not burden(C) you; yet sly as I am, I took you in by deceit!(D) 17 Did I take advantage of you by any of those I sent you? 18 I urged Titus(E) to go, and I sent the brother with him. Titus didn’t take advantage of you, did he? Didn’t we walk in the same spirit(F) and in the same footsteps?
