2 Corinthians 12:19-21
Legacy Standard Bible
19 All this time [a]you think we are defending ourselves to you. We speak in Christ (A)in the sight of God. (B)And all these things, (C)beloved, are for your building up. 20 For I am afraid that perhaps (D)when I come I may find you to be not what I wish and may be found by you to be not what you wish; that perhaps there will be (E)strife, jealousy, (F)outbursts of anger, (G)selfish ambition, (H)slanders, (I)gossip, (J)arrogance, (K)disturbances. 21 I am afraid that when I come again my God may humiliate me before you, and I may mourn over many of those who have (L)sinned in the past and not repented of the (M)impurity, sexual immorality, and sensuality which they have practiced.

19 (A)Again, [a]do you think that we excuse ourselves to you? (B)We speak before God in Christ.
