2 Corinthians 12:14-18
World English Bible
14 Behold, this is the third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I seek not your possessions, but you. For the children ought not to save up for the parents, but the parents for the children. 15 I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less? 16 Even so, I myself didn’t burden you. “But, being crafty, I caught you with deception.” 17 Did I take advantage of you by anyone of those whom I have sent to you? 18 I exhorted Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus take any advantage of you? Didn’t we walk in the same spirit? Didn’t we walk in the same steps?

2 Corinthians 12:14-18
English Standard Version
14 Here (A)for the third time I am ready to come to you. And I will not be a burden, for (B)I seek not what is yours but you. For (C)children are not obligated to save up for their parents, but (D)parents for their children. 15 (E)I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If (F)I love you more, am I to be loved less? 16 But granting that (G)I myself did not burden you, I was crafty, you say, and got the better of you by deceit. 17 Did I take advantage of you (H)through any of those whom I sent to you? 18 (I)I urged Titus to go, and sent (J)the brother with him. Did Titus take advantage of you? Did we not act in the same spirit? Did we not take the same steps?
