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?

Close NLT

2 Corinthians 12:14-18
New Living Translation

14 Now I am coming to you for the third time, and I will not be a burden to you. I don’t want what you have—I want you. After all, children don’t provide for their parents. Rather, parents provide for their children. 15 I will gladly spend myself and all I have for you, even though it seems that the more I love you, the less you love me.

16 Some of you admit I was not a burden to you. But others still think I was sneaky and took advantage of you by trickery. 17 But how? Did any of the men I sent to you take advantage of you? 18 When I urged Titus to visit you and sent our other brother with him, did Titus take advantage of you? No! For we have the same spirit and walk in each other’s steps, doing things the same way.
