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?

New American 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 are not responsible to save up for their parents, but (F)parents for their children. 15 I will (G)most gladly spend and be expended 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, devious person that I am, I (J)took you in by deceit. 17 (K)Certainly I have not taken advantage of you through any of those whom I have sent to you, have I? 18 I (L)urged (M)Titus to go, and I sent (N)the brother with him. Titus did not take any advantage of you, did he? Did we not [a]conduct ourselves [b]in the same (O)spirit and walk (P)in the same steps?
